>From what I can figure out, you "can't" set UTC=yes if you also want to use your powerpc as a Mac. Because MacOS assumes you're on local time, and that it's responsible for adjusting stuff accordingly. I fought it for a month or so before giving in. The time is kept in PRAM, so it's referenced both by MacOS and Linux. If there's a way to make MacOS understand the setting differently, I don't know of it. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
