Dear Friends,

We may be making a false assumption that the original writer's bios clock is set to GMT.
If not, setting it to GMT will make chaos for dual booting windows.
For someone new to the grml way of doing things, one should note that during the original install, when asked for a language, the default setting US english leaves the time zone as austria(cet).  One must, for example,  in NY choose on of the us english settings at the bottom of the list, and so on. 

If this be a dual boot system, and the clock is set to local time, leave it and use the grml-setlang command, which sets the locale, or, if one need an setup which is not in the locales provided, one can edit /etc/default/locale manually.  Obviously, Mika did not set up locales there for someone speaking us english located in Kenya, or Japanese located in NYC, but these things exist, and living here in NYC, I see locales with "non-corresponding" time zones every day.

(yes, I did indeed use grml to set up a friends 'locale farsi, tz new york" laptop a few days ago ;) - welcome to new york....)

Best,
m

Ouch, of course - yes. Thanks for pointing, fixed.
