I chose GMT+5:30 while installing MDK and XP. And both MDK8.1 and XP report times correctly.

My timezone is set correctly and Mandrake has been told during the install (and again since) that the realtime clock is set at local time. Despite this, when I reboot I find the time set with an offset of 10 hours corresponding to my timezone. So it seems clear that Mandrake is treating time setting as if my clock is set at UTC. If I didn't have to dual boot, I'd just set it that way, but that's not viable when XP gets a brief run every day or three. Where are these time settings stored? I found /etc/timezone. It just contains the string: Australia/Melbourne, which is where I am. TIA Brian
