Using DSL 3.0.1.
Is there an automatic time change in this version?.
If so, is there a file I could edit.
TIA.

Daylight Savings Time is encoded in the binary zoneinfo files.
You would have to grab the source files from elsie.nci.nih.gov and then use the zic compiler to create new versions for your area.

Or, much easier, grab dsl-3.3 currently at RC2 which has updated zoneinfo files.

Time to upgrade!

Thanks RobertS.
Have dial-up.
If I order from DSL Store will it be 3.3RC2/3 or 3.2?.

I don't believe the Store offers anything RC.
I am hoping that v3.3 to go gold very soon.

Thanks.
Will use a friend's high-speed connection to download tonight.
Many thanks for such a useful and practical distro.

Downloaded DSL-3.3RC2.iso.
MD5sum checked out okay.

burned onto cd but file appears as "DSL-3.3RC2.iso".
What did I do wrong?.
Do I need to extract it? and how?

Read in LQ wiki
mount -o loop -t iso9660 DSL-3.3RC2.iso /mnt/iso after making ISO directory.
but nothing happens.

Success: code sample:
aterm as super user
cd to where the iso is.
"cdrecord -v -eject speed=20 dev=0,0,0 dsl-3.3RC2.iso"
