I am > wondering if I have to do that now for configure time or it's not normal? I have downloaded tzdata-2008h-1.fc8.noarch.rpm and extracted it. Then copy it in /compat/linux/etc/localtime and now it works correct. Only a few seconds difference, but does not matter to me. ---------------------------------- # /bin/date Tue Oct 21 14:33:55 CDT 2008 # /compat/linux/bin/date Tue Oct 21 19:33:59 UTC 2008 # cp usr/share/zoneinfo/right/America/Cancun /compat/linux/etc/localtime # /compat/linux/bin/date Tue Oct 21 14:33:43 CDT 2008 ---------------------------------- Maybe edwin's plan of update tzcode to 2008e might help with this issue? I am hoping that his update tzcode can help linux_base-f8 to have correct time without have to use tzdata-2008h-1.fc8.noarch.rpm. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-September/008599.html (patches included) BTW: Add CC'ing to edwin to see if he thinks update tzcode can helps with this issue.
