Since changing jobs, I only get a chance to read the odd email and I admittedly didn't check the whole history on this. > I'm not certain who you are directing the "get on with the rest of your > life" comment....but don't you think suggesting that the solution lies > within the installation dialog just a tag bit of overkill? Err, not directed at anyone in particular and no offence intended! I didn't see who suggested you could only do it in the installation dialog, but they are wrong and that is definitely overkill. > As for the UTC=true...I have my doubts about that.

I don't have UTC=* it set on my Fedora laptop, but I see it all the time at Work on RHEL machines. Frequently Tech's update the timezone by linking a new one from /etc/localtime, but don't update /etc/sysconfig/clock so their changes get overwritten on the next update of tzdata - I'm very familiar with fixing that and I'm sure that setting the correct value of TIMEZONE and UTC in this file as well as copying the right tzdata file to /etc/localtime is enough to convince a server of what timezone it resides in. But then I live in the right timezone, so when I'm not using DST, I am in UTC ;o) > The bottom line is that the obvious utility which I looked at, as other > people did too, did not have a check box for that setting and a bugzilla > has been written. Fair enough - as mentioned, I didn't have time to read the whole thread!
