Well, I did a few install of Etch lately, and I notice, for the time to be
adjusted automaticly, that after the install is complete, I had to run
tzconfig. This is for install either with etch only, or with dual boot. First
at the end of each install the time given by date was OK, both UTC and local
(France), but the time given by KDE was out. Having ntp running does not
ajuste the time in KDE. Which would then give wrong time when you send a
mail, say. Then I run tzconfig (which told me Europe and Paris, do you change
it?) and re-enter the time zone, and every thing was OK, and all of the box
adjusted the time automaticly for winter time.
