Grant Subject: Re: [expert] GMT and Mandrake On dual boot systems, Windows expects the hardware (BIOS) clock to be in localtime not GMT (UTC not precicely the same thing anymore). So you have a choice. Leave hwclock set to local time and live with it on the Linux side or set the BIOS clock to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and have the time always be wrong under windows. "J.
