I just did a clean 9.1 install from cdrom and selected the correct time zone for my location. The DST change worked fine for me...! I'm curious what it prints if you run the command: find /usr/share/zoneinfo -type f -print | xargs md5 | grep `md5 -q /etc/localtime` It used to be that /etc/localtime was, by convention if nothing else, a symlink so you could easily see what it pointed to, but not anymore... the above is the easiest way I can think of to figure out what time zone your system is *really* set to. Yes, it should have happened automatically. There's no special setting you have to enable. It should have "just worked". So my suspicion is that your /etc/localtime isn't pointing to what you think it's pointing to... ~Ben
