My newly installed gentoo machines is runnin 2 hours ahead of what it should be.

I did make the correct symlink to timezone and in the "rc.conf" i did change the time to: "local"

In the bios the time is correct, what am i doing wrong?

now its 13:10

so.. set your bios clock to 11:10

Code:

mb@cerberus:~$ date
Thu May 30 13:10:39 CEST 2002
mb@cerberus:~$ date -u
Thu May 30 11:10:48 UTC 2002
mb@cerberus:~$ cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Berlin


Berlin == Copenhagen == +2h

well.. +1 hour, but now (summer) we have so called DST (daylight saving time) which adds 1 hour = +2h also called somme/wintertime....

if your bios clock is set to localtime, you dont need to choose a different timezone.... namely GMT..
