[Grml] time zone again

[Martin Yazdzik]

Dear Mika and Friends,

Okay, as you read in the other thread, I now have fglrx with working 3d hw 
accel.

I dare not, however, boot out of old grml into new, because new grml is 
convinced that my hw clock is set to gmt.  Since this is a laptop,  I need to 
boot into new grml and tell it that my clock is in NYC, edt, my laptop is, 
sadly, in NYC, edt, and there is only one time I need to know today, which is 
the time in NYC.

tz config sets the time to six hours earlier, because it is sure that I must 
be wrong.  I am not.  I know where I am.

I have disabled all the time stuff in autoconfig.

There is not point even trying to set up evolution and so on until every app 
takes its time settings from the system clock, which should take its settings 
from the cmos clock, which, because we all have to boot into windows once a 
year, is set to local time.


Please find a simple solution to this.  

Best,
M
