We'll get daylight saving from 3 December to 31 March, and 1 Nov to 31 March for the next 2 years. This appears to depend on your operating system and distribution. Since you're posting to SLUG I'll assume you're using Linux. The timezone package for Fedora and Redhat is called tzdata. For Debian it's in libc6. You should be able to test your timezone data with: zdump -v Australia/Perth | grep 2006 (but you probably won't get anything). zdump may be in either /usr/sbin/ or /usr/bin zdump prints out the time just before and just after the daylight-saving transitions. You can get advice on updating the timezone stuff at: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/pipermail/linuxsa/2006-February/082329.html Information about tz at: http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm and general information at: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html Make sure you stop and restart cron when making your updates manually. Other persistent systems (such as database servers) may also need restarting. All the best, J -- (`-''-/).___..--''`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.

Re: [SLUG] Html to pdf conversion with all the formatting
What were you using? There are various ways to convert, and some are better than others. The basic ones just custom-transform the HTML into PDF equivalents. They are liable to produce fairly average output in a lot of cases. I think from a thread earlier this month, the concensus was to use one based on Mozilla's Gecko engine to fully render the document, then converts to postscript (from which you convert to PDF). See the list archives for earlier in the month. Adam K [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I am able to convert HTML to PDF document, but the colors, images styles etc do not appear on pdf document.
