 stupid question, maybe, but is there any way to change to local time after
 having chosen universal time when installing debian? if so, how do it do it?

   Don't you just love little things like that? :-)  A man tzconfig
reveals:

The  Debian  GNU/Linux  system gains its knowledge of this
setting from the file /etc/default/rcS.   This  file  conĀ­
tains  either  the line GMT=-u, which indicates that the
hardware clock is set to UTC,  or  it  contains  the  line
GMT=,  which declares the hardware clock is set to Local
Time.

   Of course, that man page ain't exactly correct:-), but looking at
/etc/default/rcS will clue you in.

localtime/universal time

2000-02-22 Thread addiction
hello...

stupid question, maybe, but is there any way to change to local time after
having chosen universal time when installing debian? if so, how do it do it?
i'd look in the archives but the site seems to be down at the moment, and i
have no clue. i thought perhaps base-config would do this, but it does not.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
addiction
