Using dsl 3.4.6 have been unable to set correct time zone.

Boot with tz=US/Pacific changes the time at the bottom of the screen from Eastern to Pacific.

Calendar show UTC (at bottom of the Calendar).

Upon restart time reverts back to EST on the Calendar.

How do I make the zone change permanent?.

Depends on how you are running DSL. Where ever your append line is, syslinux.cfg, isolinux.cfg, grub/menu.lst, etc....

Need more information.

Ah, the dreaded combination of Frugal/Lilo/Toram !

Try this:

1. open a root shell
2. mount the boot partition, lets say it is hda2,  mount /mnt/hda2
3. "edit" /mnt/hda2/boot/lilo.conf
4. ln -sf /mnt/hda2/boot  /
5. lilo -C /mnt/hda2/boot/lilo.conf
6. reboot

Thanks roberts.

As a recent convert to DSL am curious as to what you mean by "Ah, the dreaded combination of Frugal/Lilo/Toram".

I thought I had been using DSL correctly. (Have your DSL book for reference in case I missed something).

What would be the correct setup other than LiveCD with a hd/partition for backup and files?. DSL is the only OS on my computers.

Thank you.
