Hi

Does the GB refer to Great Britain, or do I need to change GB to Greenwich?

Hi all,

     Actually, it would be better for Gena to copy the file rather
than to link it.  That way, she'd have the correct timezone even when
the /usr filesystem wasn't mounted.  Just do: cp -p
/usr/share/zoneinfo/GB /etc/localtime
The GB is uppercase.



          HTH.
