This year this is not the case !! Germany switches to winter time on the last Sunday of October ! I found a file called 'europe' in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo directroy where you can change these rules for each timezone and country. Does anyone know how can I activate the modifications I did in that file ? Rebooting didn`t help :-( Does anyone know how can I deacyivate the automatic switching from DST to winter time and vice versa ??? Thank you very much for your help and suggestions in advance !
