I'm confused about this ongoing timezone discussion. I'm sufering also from
a 1 day time lag behind of my system.

I have heard so far the following recipes:

1) comment out a line in /sys/i386/isa/clock.c (or something close)

    second -= seconds * 24 * 60 * 60;  /XXX - don't know why */

2) ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/MET /etc/localtime   (e.g. for Aachen or Berlin)


3) Editing the kernel CONFIG file +-23 dst 4  (this lead to config syntax error
   at least with me)


Anything else or combination of the above?
