Actually you can force Windows to accept a hardware clock in UTC: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl/TimeZoneInformation/RealTimeIsUniversal I'm using this on my dual-boot machine at home because I that stupid Daylight Savings Time change twice a year really annoyed me. So far the only downside I found is that you have to remember that the time you enter in the BIOS has to be UTC. -- blue skies, Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
