General
As most North American users know by now, the U.S. gov't has mandated that DST changes start earlier beginning in 2007.
Being that Myth is heavily dependent on having the correct time information, having the correct time is crucial. Here is how update your time:
cd mkdir tzinfo cd tzinfo wget ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007c.tar.gz tar zxf tzdata2007c.tar.gz zic -d /tmp/zoneinfo northamerica cd /tmp/zoneinfo cp -r * /usr/share/zoneinfo
After performing the above commands, you should have new time zone info in /usr/share/zoneinfo. Next just run
timeconfig
to select your timezone. After setting your timezone, you may want to run
ntpdate 128.100.100.128
to sync with an NTP server (NOTE: this command does NOT set up ntpd for you, it's just a one-time sync).
User Notes
- This worked for me on Slackware 10.2.0
