The solution is to run on local time. First go into Windows and get the time set up there to local time (I'll cover daylight savings shortly). Then in Mandriva use the Mandriva Control Centre (not KDE or Gnome) to go into System/Adjust Time. Then click on 'Set timezone' and select your timezone, it then asks you 'Is your hardware clock set to GMT?' to which you reply No. Now Mandriva will be set to use the hardware clock as local time.
For Dayight Savings what I've found is that if my machine is running and I'm logged into KDE at the switch time, then Linux makes the change, but if I'm not on then it misses the change entirely. Windows however will always pick up the change at first boot after the switch. That gives you 3 choices: 1) Make Linux master, disable Windows daylight savings, and make sure you're logged in to Linux at the switch or manually switch later. 2) Make Windows master with daylight savings enabled, ensure you're not in Linux at the switch, instead be logged in to Windows or make Windows your first boot after the switch 3) Don't care and fix things on the fly John. -- Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
