Knoppix 8.1 USB-stick installation

[Karibu]

There is a ntp.conf file in /etc but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to configure that file to my needs.

# /etc/ntp.conf,configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help


driftfile/var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift


# Enable this if youwant statistics to be logged.

# You do need totalk to an NTP server or two (or three).

The ntpdate package is not necessary if you have ntp.

No doubt you read in:
http://knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes#Micro-Remastering

.....
To change other boot options, look within the file 'syslinux.cfg' for the LABEL line of the way you always start with Knoppix. If you for example always use "knoppix" (and not "knoppix64") then look for "LABEL knoppix". Don't change the following KERNEL line but insert additional or change existent cheatcodes within the APPEND line.
LABEL knoppix
KERNEL linux
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en keyboard=es xkeyboard=es apm=power-off ...

Note: If you are using Knoppix 64 bit, you have also to change the settings within '/mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslnx32.cfg' and '/mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslnx64.cfg'

Your /etc/ntp.conf file is the same as mine. Your problem must be elsewhere.

I guess my problem is the Date and Time entered in the BIOS.
Right now it seems to be + 7 hours Pacific Standard Time and
I'm not able to change Date and Time in BIOS, still working on it.

To start the ntp service at boot you must edit /etc/rc.local and replace SERVICES="cups" with SERVICES="cups ntp"

Time issue is solved finally. What I had to do in my case:

1) As philo recommended earlier:

Check
1) BIOS time (hardware clock) --> UTC
2) /etc/adjtime --> UTC [instaead of LOCAL]
3) /etc/timezone ---> America/Vancouver

4) and maybe in :
/media/sd__/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
LABEL knoppix,
LABEL knoppix64
add inside APPEND: --> tz=America/Vancouver

The path for syslinux.cfg is '/mnt-system/boot/syslinux'.

I also changed - as philo recommended -
'/mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslnx32.cfg' and
'/mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslnx64.cfg'
and added inside APPEND: --> tz=America/Vancouver

Thanks for the help!
