tzdata

<< < (2/4) > >>

jur:
Just rebooted and the time seems to be correct.  ;D

robc:
To use the tzdata information from the boot options line you need to specify the full path to the tz file, i.e. tz=/usr/local/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne

In my remasters I put the /usr/local/share/zoneinfo/ part in the tc-config file so only Australia/Melbourne would be needed, but that requires a remaster.

--- Quote from: roberts on October 10, 2009, 11:04:20 AM ---Don't forget it is simpe to set timezone via TZ without the need of an extension, just the base Tiny Core.
See: http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#timezone

--- End quote ---

This is both useful and useless information, because the author neglected to indicate where TZ should be set.  IMHO this should not be assumed knowledge.

Please excuse the rudeness borne of frustration above.  As roberts points out, on http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#bootcodes, the section "What Bootcodes does Tiny Core Support?" does explain how to use TZ.  I did not understand that from the section "How To Timezone?" on the same page, yet it clearly states "For example mine tz boot code is:...".

roberts:
Your negative comment aside..
tz was made to be used as boot code as shown by:
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#bootcodes

--- Code: --- tinycore tz=GMT+8                   Timezone tz=PST+8PDT,M4.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
--- End code ---

Your course you can do as you please and ignore its intended use as a boot code.
