Did you configure /etc/localtime? By default it's set to /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/CET, run: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$WHATEVER_YOU_WANT /etc/localtime to set it according to your needs. If this does not yet fix you problem please show output of the following commands: grep hwclock /etc/runlevel.conf grep '^UTC' /etc/default/rc cat /etc/timezone > Please find a simple solution to this. grml itself does nothing else than the stuff behind CONFIG_TIMEZONE [that's config_timezone() in /etc/grml/autoconfig.functions] and is executed in live-cd mode only. regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
