How do I reconfigure system time? (solved)

[pauljw]

Apparently during installation I neglected to set the correct time zone info. My PC clock and the desktop clock don't match and I can't get them in sync. Can someone point me to where I need to go to make the correction?

It's not in KDE, I have that correct and my onscreen clock is right, but the system is off by 5hrs. If I change the bios setting, then my desktop is off, when i correct the desktop, it changes the system clock. Catch-22

Thanks

use sysinstall > configure

Yes, use sysinstall or click on the 'Home' icon on the desktop and look for your major city in one of the folders in /usr/share/zoneinfo

Open a terminal window (System - Konsole) and su to root. Then do the following, substituting your continent and city for Europe/London:

(Just type the commands after the '#' which represents the prompt.)

# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
# adjkerntz -a
# exit

Thanks so much, sysinstall did the trick. I also appreciate the cli instructions.
