DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: date command

If no /usr/local/bin/datetool.lua then you must be running an old version of DSL.

If an old version and you are in a daylight savings zone then that would be an issue as well and a reason to upgrade.

You also have the option to run gettime.lua to set date and time from a time server. But likely you don't have that either.

/usr/local/bin/gettime.lua

Also, you can set your timezone with a boot option.
Supported timezones are as originally supported by knoppix-autoconfig.

This thread began as a mere suggestion so I'd better not let it turn into help; I shall take note of all your advice, for which many thanks.
