Hello, In my /etc/conf.d/clock file I have these relevant settings: CLOCK="local" TIMEZONE="America/New_York" CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" it's a dual boot (XP & gentoo) workstation. I had to set the time manually to adjust for the 1 hour shift. Shouldn't this be automatic? What did I miss? James -

Hello all, My home province (Newfoundland & Labrador) has, in its infinite wisdom, decided to adopt daylight savings time from 11 to 04 November, rather than the more common dates in April & October. Can someone tell me what I need to do to accommodate this change, if anything? Thanks, Roger -
