On most of my Gentoo systems, the DST change didn't happen. Apparently I screwed up by following the instructions in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml where it says: Set your timezone Set your time zone information by copying the correct file from /usr/share/zoneinf

[gentoo-user] OT - Where is the TIMEZONE variable?

I feel really stupid having to ask this here, but in what file is the TIMEZONE variable set? My PC clock is set by ntp and it's not being updated for DST. Wherever the variable is, it's not set. I never updated it becuase I heard it wasn't actually being used yet, but I think if I set it my mach
