Stephan,

Is it possible to have the Debris Installer ask whether the computer uses UTC or local time and can set the parameter properly in the /etc/default/rcS file? This has been an issue for several beta versions of Debris if you use it on a machine that dual boots between Windows and Debris.

Only reason I ask is, as I turn more users onto Debris - if they do the install themselves (easy enough task) - they get frustrated with their clock getting messed with as they move between operating systems. It has been really easy to have them change the UTC=yes to UTC=no to fix the issue, but I have to wonder how many just stopped using Debris and never asked me how to fix that?

I know the Ubuntu Alternate installer asks the question, as does their server install (which makes no sense to me - who dual boots their server?) so I know it can be addressed in the install.

Thanks -

Jeff
