Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD changes BIOS clock

I have a Samsung R480 with Phoenix SecureCore BIOS. I set the BIOS clock to the correct time. I then run the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD (the CD is valid, no errors), and I believe it sets the default Operating System clock to UTC, rather than EST like it should be. It seems to pull my BIOS clock time and add on 5 hours.

Then, after I remove the Live CD, restart the computer, and go into the BIOS, the BIOS clock is changed too!

I thought a Live CD was to make NO changes to the computer at all, including the BIOS of all things.

Is this normal? Is Linux supposed to be able to do this?

Thanks for any help!
