If you are choosing localtime for CMOS clock you may | check the user manual for the side effects. Nevertheless the user has to be informed that the Day Light Saving switch for the CMOS clock has to be done by him self. Even if technical this is required by the system. Maybe Karl has a few words to make clear that locatime in CMOS clock is a fragile and requires periodic maintenance within the CMOS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
