I'm creating a preseed.cfg file for installing Debian 8.6 in a
dual-boot enviroment with some version of MS Windows. There are
two distinct use cases:
1. Two of my machines with WinXP Pro SP3
2. A remote (~1000 miles]friend with several machines - some
with WinXP, others with
Windows 10 or later.
I have discovered on my WinXP machine that:
1. WinXP _displays_ the correct time.
"Date and Time Properties" - Time Zone set to
(GMT-06:00)Central Time(US&Canada)
Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes
2. Debian 8.6 w MATE run from LIVE DVD _displays_ the correct
time
3. Debian 8.6 w MATE installed from DVD 1 of 13 with aid of
custom preseed.cfg
_displays_ a time 5 hours earlier.
The _display_ is independent of whether
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
*OR*
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean false
is used in the preseed.cfg file.
I'm confused.
