+After installation you might want to configure the timezone and locale
+installation of your system. The GNU C library comes with a locale
+database which gets configured with @code{localedef}. For example, to
+set up a German locale with name @code{de_DE}, simply issue the command
+@samp{localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE}. To configure all locales
+that are supported by glibc, you can issue from your build directory the
+command @samp{make localedata/install-locales}.
+
+To configure the locally used timezone, you can either set the @code{TZ}
+environment variable. The script @code{tzselect} helps you to select
+the right value. As an example for Germany, tzselect would tell you to
+use @samp{TZ='Europe/Berlin'}. For a system wide installation (the
+given paths are for an installation with @samp{--prefix=/usr}), link the
+timezone file which is in @file{/usr/share/zoneinfo} to the file
+@file{/etc/localtime}. For Germany, you might execute @samp{ln -s
