Other Help Topics :: Timezone



Once upon a time, there was a timezone application in the Damn Small Control panel called "tzconfig".

It must have been removed for some reason.
In the Netherlands (Holland) we are "on wintertime" which means the clock has gone back one hour... I'd like to change that in DSL (it there a possibility to automate that/timeserver...?)

same problem in norway.
if you look at /etc/default/rcS, you see
Quote
# Set UTC=yes if your system clock is set to UTC (GMT), and UTC=no if not.
UTC=no

i think this means DSL expects the hwclock uses local time. so it doesnt use TZone info
now i found a Setting your systemtime.
this may be useful.

Warning!!!
This is not the best way to set your system time. It is not even the recommended way to set your system time. As a matter of fact, most documentation warns you AGAINST setting your system time with the date command, which is what this document discusses.

That being said, this is simple, and for small time adjustments, I personally use it.
