-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In article <20020604214716.W63192-100000@olgeni.olgeni> you write: >Just nitpicking... maybe the "Does the XXX abbreviation look >reasonable" dialog box should be a character taller, so the separator >will not bump into the text line =) Actually, it should say something like: Based on your current system time and the timezone you just selected, the time is now: Tue Jun 4 16:27:40 EDT 2002 [OK] [Try another timezone] [Change system time] Originally, tzsetup would try to display the date, and ask if it looked correct, but it frequently got it wrong (particularly when the `wall CMOS' option was selected) and even more frequently confused users who had misadjusted clocks. If anyone wants to fix this, I have no proprietary feelings whatsoever towards `tzsetup'. - -GAWollman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8/SQNI+eG6b7tlG4RAsp2AJ9HdCqKSNicIq1FRzAKu/NTVIgVsQCeLaF2 qprf5yrXhHFTJJV2OK6gCNw= =hrpm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
