Just wanted to report how it is going with my machine with these steps
as well. I gave the above two commands and rebooted. BIOS clock showed
UTC. Booting into Windows 7 (which is set to take BIOS time as UTC time
by the registry change I mentioned in an earlier post) and in Fedora 7
shows the right time. Rebooted, confirm BIOS was still on UTC and logged
in to Debian. The time was still correctly displayed as EDT.
$ grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS
UTC=yes
~/tmp$ date
Thu Jul 15 14:40:18 EDT 2010
~/tmp$ date --utc
Thu Jul 15 18:40:22 UTC 2010
So, er, I am still not sure how to understand this:
"To change the computer to use UTC after installation, edit the file
/etc/default/rcS, change the variable UTC to no. If you happened to
install your system to use local time, just change the variable to yes
to start using UTC." ---
