So, let me get this straight. We have a value called timezone in rc.
config but exactly what does setting this value accomplish? Here is
what I think should happen. I think that timezone should patrol the
clock and when time changes it effects a change to the system clock and
makes the computer change. I dont specifically know what option you
are discussing here; but would like to. I searched a few of the cd's
but do not know specifically which one you are discussing. Can you
summarize this approach?
Rebooting to set the clock on the bios seems rather strange.
