Cheers Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list Hi, This is taken from Gentoo installation guide. 14.Setting your time zone ... ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/path/to/timezonefile /et c/localtime where /path/to/timezonefile is the path to your country and city. See the dirs under /usr/share/zoneinfo/... Before that you have to decide if want to use GMT or your localtime. Also check the BIOS time settings. Rumen. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You'll never need a time-setup tool again. To setup ntp, you'll need to know who's serving the time for you. A list of servers can be found here: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html Some servers want you to send a notification email about the fact that you're using the service. Some even serve the time for free. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It's tzselect(first offers regions, that countries ... you meant that?), like on RH. It doesn't help except that comfirmed that CET is the right timezone. It proposes how to set this on a user basis, but not on server basis. I re-checked: I run RH on my notebook and the timein BIOS is the same as in linux. On my desktop(Gentoo) the BIOS/CMOS is correct and linux is 1 hout ahead. Goran > > hope that helps. > > Cheers > > Dg > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
