[Grml] time

[martin yazdzik]

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
