Title: Time
Post by: cpuffer_zaurus on December 27, 2004, 10:30:49 pm

I am trying to figure out how to set the time zone and the time. When I use NTP the time is set to GMT which is fine if the applications like the clock respect the time zone. What its the present state of time in pdaXrom and who do I set it correctly?

Open a terminal and do the following

Code: [Select]

cd /etc
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Country/Place localtime
Check the dirs under zoneinfo for the Countries and place names. For example, I'm in Perth Australia, so I have a symlink to: -

Code: [Select]

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth
