For the archives: Note, BST was the correct *result*, *not* the *solution*. The solution was to chose /Europe/London time which will correctly switch from GMT to BST and back again as appropriate. Also for the record, when I set my system time to Europe/London/ (my hardware clock is set to UTC), my system, for some obscure reason, determinedly changes it to /Europe/Guernsey. As this is the same, it doesn't matter, but some day I might try to find out why it does it. ;-) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
