Not feasible, since I already have a Debian 6.0.3 system, it resets the bios according to my localisation values set there, aided by ntpdate. So you have to please suggest another alternative. I have tried TZ cheatcode but that does not work either. I had also run tzselect (=asia/kolkata) here in knoppix, but that too does not work.
