1. Werner, do you propose any change to the help text which is written in comment 3?

2. If user has linux only system and chooses localtime, we could show something like

"You have selected local time although it appears that Windows system is not installed. In such case it is strongly recommended to use UTC.

Are you sure to continue with your selection? [Continue/Cancel"

I think this is mostly ok. I would not mention Windows, though, and I'd describe the problem less technical. Maybe, we should even rephrase the final question (Do you want to select UTC instead?): "You selected local time, but only Linux seems to be installed on your system. In such case, it is strongly recommended to use UTC, and to click Cancel. If you want to keep local time, you must adjust the CMOS clock twice the year because of Day Light Saving switches. If you miss to adjust the clock, backups may fails, your mail system may drop mail messages, etc. If you use UTC, the Linux will adjust the time automatically. Do you want to continue with your selection (local time)? [Continue/Cancel]" Something about comment 23 will follow... -- 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.
