I think you do dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, and select Europe/London. There is no option for GMT, specifically. Thus you get the twice-yearly hassle of DST. I believe you can define your own timezone, based on UTC+0, and fix localtime to this. But that's not really the point. I'm quite happy with localtime being GMT/BST; I just want cron to trigger tasks at a fixed time each day, regardless of localtime. Surely, someone else must have encountered, and solved, this dilemma? -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:t...@vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
