[opensuse] DST with dual boot
Hello, In good old unix tradition, I always set the HW clock to UTC and let zoneinfo do the rest. Now I need to install a dual-boot box (win-XP). Do I really need to fall back to the (IMHO) braindead method to set the HW clock to local time? Or is there some clever way to get win-xp to accept HW clock set to UTC? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

AFIK, you`ll have to set the HW clock to local time. Also, configure XP so that it doesn`t change on DST. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, set the WinXP timezone to UTC/GMT and remember what the current offset is. I find this satisfactory for the small amount I boot into WinXP. After buying CrossOver Office, that is almost zero.
