time zone woes

[el_supremo]

FYI: NTP is probably overkill for most users. It's much easier to use "rdate" which is already in Knoppix. Choose a Stratum 2 server nearest you from the list at: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html
(see the link at the bottom of the page), check that you can get an answer from it:

rdate -p strat2.server.name

and then put this command in knoppix.sh:

rdate strat2.server.name

or perhaps you can put this:

sudo rdate strat2.server.name

in .profile (I haven't tried this).

Best Wishes
