Resetting clock local time.

[rajibando]

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

What I meant was in between shutdown and booting.
You say,

Knoppix uses only the value of "tz=..." of the Kernel line and other settings within "/etc/timezone" will be overwritten.

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

... 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.

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

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'

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.
