It took me a while to find out that Daylight Saving Time ought to be set through Time Zones. Although my local time is set correctly, my gmtime probably isn't. I'm trying to fix that now. So I start up sysinstall, and go to Configure -> Time Zones -> Europe. I get a long list of European countries. I select Belgium. It asks "does the abbreviation 'CEST' look ok?" I click "NO", because the time zone is CET; the "S" stands for Standard, and I think I want 'CEDT'. But I don't get that choice. So I get to choose from a long list of countries for which half come out to "CEST"? With no way to select Daylight Saving Time? Humph. But, enough whining. So, sysinstall won't work. Can I compensate for Daylight Saving Time the user unfriendly way? ps. This is the version FreeBSD 3.4 that came on the latest CD's from Walnut Creek (december 1999). -- Bart.
