Linux will not automatically change your hardware clock. You tell it that your clock is set to either local time or UT and it makes its own timezone and summer time adjustments. > solution: activate automatic change only in WIN or in LINUX Or use only operating systems than can deal properly with a hardware clock set to UT. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain. john@dhh.gt.org Do with it what you will.
