I can't seem to work out how to set the correct time zone for Australia. I have installed the timezones-australia package but can't seem to work out which is the correct timezone when I set the time using EST which I assume in Australian Eastern standard Time sets the time to some strange time so perhaps EST is a US time zone?
Thanks for any advice.

Here are a list of timezones that the Zaurus timezone settings gives me.
UTC/WET/GMT
MET/MEZ/CET/SWT
EET
BT
IST
WAST
CCT
JST
GST/EAST
IDLE/NZT
HST
AkST/YST
PST
MST
CST
EST
AST
WAT
I assume none of these are correct?
Did you get AET to show up in the list Meanie?

Ok I got the correct time zone to work.
I did a ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime
and it worked.
I also got mplayer to work. I included the opie feed in the list of feeds and installed mplayer then used:
mplayer -ac mad mymp3.mp3 or mplayer -ac mad -fs -framedrop mymovie.mpg
to play movies. Use:
mplayer myvorbis.ogg to play oggs or mplayer -fs -framedrop mymovie.ogm
to play ogms. The mad libs should only be used for mp3s.
