If it's off by the same number of hours as the difference from you to
Greenwich Mean Time, then the fix is simple. It took me awhile to
figure out, you have to tell Linux you want to use local time, since
that's what MacOS uses, not GMT as the install prompt seems to
recommend. You can use date and hwclock, or /usr/sbin/base-config, to
accomplish this.
