Linux System Setup and Recovery
Configuring Your Linux Workstation
System Time, Timezone and Date Parameters
The “Time/Timezone” tab at the top of the Setup Tool screen will display
the window shown below which is used for setting your system time and
date. In the “Time:” box, you may type the current time using the
24-hour clock. In the “Day:” box, you may type the current day of the
month. Pull down the “Month:” menu to select the current month. In the
“Year:” box, you may type the year.
Time Zone
Click the “Geographical Location” button at the top of the window to
select your location, if it is not “U.S.” Use the scroll bar to show your
city/time zone, then click on it. Click “Save” to use these selections and
close this window.
This step creates a symbolic link from
/etc/localtime
to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/<timezone>
.
Selecting the “Set time on Save” option causes
setparms
to set and save
the system clock and the hardware clock with the time and date specified
in the “Time” and date fields. If you do not select that option, they will
remain set to their current value.
