suggestion (bug_risk): Quote shell variables to avoid word splitting issues.

Wrap variable references in double quotes (e.g. "${TZONE}" and "${FSMNT}/var/db/zoneinfo") to ensure the script handles values with spaces or special characters correctly.

Suggested implementation:

  cp "${FSMNT}/usr/share/zoneinfo/${TZONE}" "${FSMNT}/etc/localtime"

  echo "${TZONE}" | tee "${FSMNT}/var/db/zoneinfo" > /dev/null
