No, I dont think so.
Localtime on BIOS is a sick disease like a Virus grapping around. Every BIOS RTC should be on UTC, as LINUX is getting the right Timnezone info on booting or installing.

maybe we integrate the timezone-fix into installer in some releases..

Hi,

for a Live CD, I think it would be better to assume that the majority of hardware clocks are running on localtime, not UTC.

Regards...
