Bug Description
During an espresso install, the installer only ask your time zone, but doesn't ask if the local time in the BIOS is in UTC or not.
So after my installation was completed, I had a system with UTC=yes in /etc/default/rcS.
In a dual-boot Windows-Ubuntu computer for the time to properly works in all the OSes an user must set UTC=no. It would be nice if the option was asked (or automatically set) during the installation so that unexperienced users (who are often the ones dual-booting with Windows in the first place) wouldn't have to edit that file in /etc/default manually afterward.
