>Description:

 The installation of FreeBSD assumes that mainland Portugal is in timezone
 WET (GMT+1+DST) which is not true.

 Like the UK, mainland Portugal belongs to timezone GMT+0+DST.
 As for the islands/archipelagos: Madeira uses the same timezone of mainland;
 Azores uses GMT-1+DST.

Reassign misfiled PR.

State-Changed-When: Sun Mar 2 18:39:25 PST 2003 
State-Changed-Why:  
All versions of FreeBSD since 2.2 in 1996 have correctly noted that 
mainland Portugal (using the Europe/Lisbon timezone data file) observes 
UTC-00:00 (aka Western European Time).  The tzsetup(8) program uses the 
file `/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab' to create its menus, which shows the 
correct assignment of zones to location: 

PT      +3843-00908     Europe/Lisbon   mainland 
PT      +3238-01654     Atlantic/Madeira        Madeira Islands 
PT      +3744-02540     Atlantic/Azores Azores 

I must conclude operator error.
