I think the easiest approach then would be to have an /etc/timezone directory that should have a single file in it with the current timezone. This file could be copied from /usr and keep the original name. example:
/etc/timezone/MST7MDT Pretty easy to understand and deal with. What do you think? -Daniel On 2/15/07, Anders Bruun Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

It might have something to do with the fact that FHS specifies that /usr does not have to be on the root partition and thus using a symlink in /etc to somewhere in /usr is bad because most of the stuff in /etc is needed during boot, before other partitions are mounted. Moving away from using a symlink for localtime is therefore a step in the right direction for FHS compliance. -- Anders -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/O d--@ s:+ a-- C++ UL+++$ P++ L+++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w O-- M- V PS+ PE@ Y+ PGP+ t 5 X R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G e- h !r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ PGPKey: http://random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD4DEFED0 -- [email protected] mailing list
