time via internet server

[jls]

this is my boot line:

Code: [Select]

title Tiny Core restore=sda1 home=hda4
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/bzImage quiet kmap=it lang=it restore=sda1 home=hda4 settime tz=UTC-2 max_loop=60 noutc
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/tinycore.gz
And when I click on "time via internet server" the time is ok, but I live in italy, so it should be UTC-1.
The problem started last week when the time changed due to DST

If you live where in an area that has DST then you need to use the full specification for the tz variable. Indicating both the begin and end of DST.

For example mine tz boot code is: tz=PST+8PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

In the above DST clause PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

M3 = month nbr (1-12)
2 = week nbr (1-5)
0 = day of week (0-7)
/2 = time

So for PDT it begins March second Sunday at 2AM and end November first Sunday at 2AM.

Roberts,
    Maybe Im just one of the noobs that was not aware of the capabilities surronding the TZ variable, but I find this to be quite a gem of info.  Thanks again for all you've done!
