Yes, but you can set the other system to not adjust for sommer/winter time. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

But if have a dual boot system with the other system expecting BIOS set to localtime, Debian should be able to handle this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html#s-multiboot-with It may cause problems when rebooting after sommer/winter time changes though, as Debian has no way of knowing whether the other system already ajusted the local clock to the new sommer/winter time.

Try the option --localtime of hwclock (ref: man hwclock). About rsync: yes, it needed network access. bye -- Luca Sighinolfi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have tried this but the timezone _is_ set correctly as Asia/Manila however the clock remains skewed.

I installed Lenny on a machine that has no network access so I was hoping that ntpdate would not be necessary. Etch works fine though and the clock is set properly. Could this possibly be a bug in the installer for Lenny? -- Rage Callao Free Software :: empower :: educate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

localtime and UTC
Hi, I just installed Lenny Beta 1 and everything installs nicely. However, my system time and hwclock are swapped. The output of date is: Fri Apr 4 20:40:29 PHT 2008 (should be 12:40:29) The output of date -u is: Fri Apr 4 12:41:28 UTC 2008 My /etc/default/rcS is set to: UTC=no /etc/timezone is set to: Asia/Manila My machine's BIOS clock is set to localtime.
