With Debian I use the crontab:
Code:
40 10,15,20 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -v de.pool.ntp.org; /sbin/hwclock -u --systohc
I've read Sysadmin time again and now found this hint:
At least from Debian version 2.2 onwards, the system automatically saves the system time to hardware clock on shutdown, and sets the system clock from hardware clock when Debian boots up. This is done in the script /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh.
Therefore I changed my crontab-entry within Debian to
Code:
40 10,15,20 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -v de.pool.ntp.org

This value is wrong; did you write it manually? Now, what's the output fromwithin your Debian and Knoppix?

No, I pasted without putting a line break between the code and output (i.e., Enter Key) ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

This part is already settled (please remember to visit my earlier posts). My debian setting is Asia/Kolkata.
My knoppix setting resets itself to the settings for usa after every boot:

To be precise, the Knoppix time is:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ cat /etc/timezone
Output:

The problem lies with the package: time-admin It can't store date-time settings, at least in my copy of Knoppix.

Oh, no! "time-admin" can store your settings and you can see it immediatly with "cat /etc/timezone". But Knoppix is a Live System and therefore it uses another way => '/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig' => '# Set timezone'
Knoppix uses only the value of "tz=..." of the Kernel line and other settings within "/etc/timezone" will be overwritten.

What I meant was in between shutdown and booting.

I have tested with tz in the kernel line, but knoppix does not use that in the subsequent boots. Remember my posting,

What it does is it treats my BIOS time as UTC and then calculates New York time. You say,

Where is this line? My kernel line is:
linux (hd1,1)/boot/isolinux/linux root=/dev/ram rw ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce tz=/Asia/Kolkata

Yes, done! The error was in using the capital TZ, following earlier post. whereas it would be tz in kernel line, and then using the ntp daemon to fix the time and date. Thanks for staying on the issue with me.
