How to set system time default is hardware time

Post by linuxunix »

Let it be the default, which file should be modified? No need to reset after booting

What specific Puppy version?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

There should be an item in the menu that can set the date and time.

What it does is put LOCAL or UTC in the file /etc/adjtime
and make the file /etc/localtime be a symlink to a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/
And maybe set the TZ variable in /etc/profile or maybe not.
