You are correct. And I do rememember setting the system to GMT at installation....as a matter of fact I would rather the hwclock be set to GMT instead of localtime; it seems like a cleaner solution. I never have looked at the situation seriously since I boot into windog so seldom these days. Mostly for Morrowind and tougher copy-protected cd backups.
