I just did a clean 9.1 = install from cdrom and selected the correct time zone for my location. The DST change worked fine for me...! I'm curious what it prints if you run the command: find /usr/share/zoneinfo -type f -print | xargs md5 | grep `md5 -q = /etc/localtime` It used to be that /etc/localtime was, by convention if nothing else, a symlink so you could easily see what it pointed to, but not anymore... the above is the easiest way I can think of to figure out what time zone your system is *really* set to. Yes, it should have happened automatically. There's no special setting you have to enable. It should have "just worked". So my suspicion is that your /etc/localtime isn't pointing to what you think it's pointing to... ~Ben=
