Yu> Timezone names are not unique, there are many other same name timezones. Well, I wonder if there's a Debian Policy about this.

Anybody have some constructive recommendations? How can I just make my machine call my timezone "+0800"? 1. I don't want to perform open heart surgery on my machine to do this. It must not be anymore deeper than "apt-get install gawk; apt-get remove mawk" 2. will it break anything if my timezone now isn't 3 letters? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
