    Question Time Travel

    Could anyone help me.

    I have a TRI-boot system; Windows 98 (Games), Windows XP (Work) and Linux.

    The problem is whenever I change the clock in BIOS or OS, the clocks change but windows and linux are always 1 hour out of each other.

    How to set this back: GMT clock changes will change the clock 3 times in a day (one per OS) when needed and sometimes this works, but I don't want to keeping waiting till the next season.

    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!

    If I were you, I'd set Windows XP to change the time for daylight saving, set Windows 98 to never change the clock, and tell Linux that the system clock is running on BST/GMT, rather than just GMT. You've probably got Linux set up so that it thinks the system clock is GMT, and is changing it to BST.

    What Linux distribution do you have?

    LInux will think your clock is set to UTC so will auto compensate for daylight savings, in output where as i think windows actually changes the clock, hence screwing it up. Your best bet is to try to find a time zone for linux that is GMT but not with BST, i.e lisbon or something, then you should be golden.

    Or just continue having a massive clock just behind my monitor and look at that instead (call it the 10 minute break every hour.)
