Hello,
When I installed SuSE, YaST suggested that my hardware-clock was set to use GMT. But this seems to have the effect, that the time is two hours ahead every time I start my PC. I adjust it - and the next time I start, it's two hours ahead again. I have told YaST that I live in Europe (Denmark), so I really don't understand why this is happening. Anyone?
When you were installing SuSE 8 you were given the choice of using local time or GMT time and, I think, there is a bit of information about this in the dialogue box where it is suggested that if you are only installing Linux as your only OS then use GMT time; but if you dual booting and have Windows installed then not to use GMT but to use local time (because Windows is braindead and can only properly handle local time). If you have multiple boot with local hardware clock time, your clock will be set forward or back by each OS the first time you start it after what it considers to be time change date. This is one of the aspects of dual boot being "unsupported" in Windows.
You can change which time mode you are using from the Control Centre.
Cheers.
