Hello,

thank you for your help.

Now I have read so much about setting time in Linux, but I don't understand it!!!

Everybody tells me different things about setting time.

/etc/timezone
/usr/share/zoneinfo
/etc/adjtime

and commands like "tzselect" "date" "hwclock"

iam really confused now.

I have set /etc/timezone to "TZ=CET-1CES-2,M3.5.0/02:00,M10.5.0/03:00" but nothing happend!

Please help

Bye Bye
Jochen

Once I had my harware clock showing the local time correctly, all I had to do (on my hd-installed box) was to replace the /etc/localtime file with another file choosen from /usr/share/zoneinfo/... corresponding to my timezone (in my case: .../US/Pacific), and of course renamed as /etc/localtime. Then the command "date" instantly reported that I in the new timezone.

I hope it helps someone.
