That answers a lot of questions I have had about the boot process in hamm. When I looked in /etc/default/rc.S I saw that GMT was still null, as it always has been. I don't understand why the newly installed timezone assumed it was utc until I made the change in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, and then executed it. (I have removed the GMT definition from hwclock.sh now that I now where it belongs.) > That's /usr/share/zoneinfo. You can run `tzconfig' to setup your > local timezone. (It should have been run automatically - and it has > in my setup). During installation, there was a message saying my timezone was EST5EDT, and advising me to run tzconfig if I wanted to change it. I do have a /usr/share/zoneinfo directory, but I also have /usr/doc/timezone, (listed below) which is identical to /usr/doc/libc6. I don't understand this. The dpkg -L list shows timezones as containing this directory, but not the files included in it. It is a bug if timezones doesn't have a manpage, and the contents of this directory are also a bug. bob:vc-2:bob>ls /usr/doc/timezones BUGS.gz NOTES.gz ChangeLog.gz PROJECTS.gz ChangeLog.linuxthreads.gzREADME.Xfree3.2.linuxthreads.gz ChangeLog.localedata.gz README.crypt.gz Changes.linuxthreads.gz README.gz FAQ.Debian.gzREADME.linuxthreads.gz FAQ.gz README.localedata.gz INSTALL.gz changelog.Debian.gz NEWS.gz copyright Bob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: timezones 2.0.7pre1-1 is broken
Try rerunning /usr/sbin/tzconfig ; when I run that the /etc/localtime gets fixed.

timezones 2.0.7pre1-1 is broken
When I updated my hamm system tonight from my local mirror, timezones was updated to 2.0.7pre1-1. It removed the setting GMT="" from wherever it belongs in hamm. (It was in /etc/init.d/boot pre-hamm, but I haven't looked for it before now that /etc/init.d/boot is no longer used. I inserted GMT="" near the top of /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, and it works, but that probably isn't the correct place. Where should it be? When I run the date command, I get the following: Thu Feb 12 22:40:27 /etc/localtime 1998 There is no file /etc/localtime, which I suppose should contain my time zone, which tzconfig says (correctly) is EST5EDT. dpkg -L shows that timezones includes the directory /usr/doc/timezones, but no files in that directory. A listing of this directory shows: bob:vc-2:bob>ls /usr/doc/timezones BUGS.gz NOTES.gz ChangeLog.gz PROJECTS.gz ChangeLog.linuxthreads.gzREADME.Xfree3.2.linuxthreads.gz ChangeLog.localedata.gz README.crypt.gz Changes.linuxthreads.gz README.gz FAQ.Debian.gzREADME.linuxthreads.gz FAQ.gz README.localedata.gz INSTALL.gz changelog.Debian.gz NEWS.gz copyright Many of these files, but not all, are related to glibc, and none seem related to timezones. Are these known problems with this version of timezones, or should I file a bug report? Bob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
