Hi.

In /etc/sbin/knoppix-autoconfig the LANGUAGE=uk will set the following variables:
COUNTRY="uk"
LANG="en_GB"
LANGUAGE="en"
KEYTABLE="uk"
XKEYBOARD="uk"
KDEKEYBOARD="gb"
CHARSET="iso8859-1"
KDEKEYBOARDS="us"
TZ="Europe/London"

So thats ok. At least if you also copy your timezone file to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London

Does "hwclock -r" give the same time as "date"?

HW Clock returns the right time !

When I specify land=UK it complains the file /Europe/London doesn't exist, and date reports the time zone is still not set to GMT or the correct time.

So how do I get these files there ? I ask because DSL restores the files after the knoppix autoconfig so the files will be there to late !

???

It would be nice to have a remaster option where I could add my country

The machines I run ntpdate and ntpd on, have a hd-install of dsl on it. So I don't have a problem. I do however also have a frugal install which still needs time sync.

I think a remaster is the best option. (Why /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig has an option for language and timezones but cannot be used is a good question)
Found the debian file with the timezones: libc6

Some other links:
ntpdate

ntpd

I use 7-zip on windows to unpack them.
