Colin,

Thanks for the tip.

I would like to suggest that the next release (9.10) include a prompt
for the user to set UTC to NO even if no other OS is present.

Peter

This should be fine; just check that your system has the correct time
zone set (System -> Administration -> Time and Date). For example, if
your local time zone is the same as New York's, the America/New_York
time zone will cause your system clock to be automatically adjusted back
and forward between EST and EDT in spring and autumn.

If you find that you need to undo your four-hour adjustment so that some
other installed operating system gets it right, then you might want to
change the setting of UTC in /etc/default/rcS. (However, the installer
ought to have taken care of this if you actually still had another
operating system installed.)

I'm closing this bug as it's more of a question about system setup than
a bug; in future you can ask this time of question at
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu instead.
