Martin, thanks for noting that. Are you happy with http://grml.org/faq/#timezone or is anything missing there which might be useful for users of grml? Do you miss anything inside grml-setlang/grml2hd which might improve the situation? Any patches againgst the documentation (and of course against sourcecode in general ;)) are highly appreciated from my side, because it's not that easy to write documentation for users from developers side of view. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
