Hi, after installing with the hardware clock set to localtime (because there might be a windows on a few machines, too) with <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> the machine still uses UTC, in /etc/sysconfig/clock there is still only the line HWCLOCK="-u" instead of HWCLOCK="--localtime" This is not the fault of YAST, with a manual install it works, only autoyast seems not to take the value. Here the relevant excerpts from y2log: 2003-12-22 17:56:30 <1> linux(1130) [YCP] modules/AutoInstall.ycp(Continue):147 Found and read saved autoinst data : <...> "general":$["clock":$["hwclock":"localtime", "timezo ne":"Europe/Berlin"], "keyboard":$["keymap":"german"], <...> and later: 2003-12-22 17:56:42 <1> linux(1130) [Interpreter] clients/installation.ycp:150 Loading YCP module Timezone 2003-12-22 17:56:42 <1> linux(1130) [YCP] modules/Misc.ycp(Misc::SysconfigRead):241 .sysconfig.clock.TIMEZONE: <Europe/Berlin> 2003-12-22 17:56:42 <1> linux(1130) [YCP] modules/Misc.ycp(Misc::SysconfigRead):241.sysconfig.clock.DEFAULT_TIMEZONE: <Europe/Berlin> 2003-12-22 17:56:42 <1> linux(1130) [YCP] modules/Misc.ycp(Misc::SysconfigRead):241 .sysconfig.clock.HWCLOCK: <-u> 2003-12-22 17:56:43 <1> linux(1130) [YCP] modules/Timezone.ycp(Timezone::Set):177 Set timezone:Europe/Berlin sel:0 name:Europa / Deutschland Holger.
