Ok it is that time of year to Spring ahead, but My Antix machines did not do so....
I been clicking everywhere to find a place to adjust my time, but All i can do is set it for America and new york, and my time does not spring ahead....
Any clues how to manually move my clock ahead an hour for springtime time???

The best thing to do is the set your hardware clock to use UTC. If you do this then Linux will do the DST adjustments for you automatically. If you dual boot with an OS that is as dumb as a bag of doorknobs then you will need to keep your hardware clock set to localtime so the dumb OS does not get confused. In that case you will need to manually adjust for DST in Linux (because we have to assume you (or the other OS) are taking care of it in the hardware clock).

First, make sure your time zone is set correctly. Then configure your hardware clock for either localtime or utc. Use a command like"sudo date -set="03/09/14 15:24:00" to set the system clock and then finally use"sudo /sbin/hwclock --systohc" to transfer the time on your system clock to your hardware clock.

Thanks Bitjam...
I am not sure if my other OS is as bad as you say, after all it is the infamous Windows 98 second edition....
I only use that to play my old dos games, so it is not online to get any time changes, however i will try what you say and see how it goes....

Well I followed your instructions in the other thread and I get an error in terminal that reads:
bash: hwclock: command not found

EDIT: P.S. Problem Solved I forgot the machine did not have its internet card, I gave it to my daughter for her laptop... As soon as I plugged in my USB device the time jumped ahead an hour... So I am assuming I set everything right during antix install....

When all else fails, reboot!

That's why I told you to use"sudo /sbin/hwclock". The problem is that Debian keeps /sbin and /usr/sbin off of the normal user's path. This forces you to have to supply the full path to commands that are in /sbin and /usr/sbin. I don't understand the purpose of this but the end result is that you have to use /sbin/hwclock instead of hwclock.

All's well that ends well..

That was *exactly* the family of operating systems I was referring too: Windows.

now now let us not forget how great windows is.... where would we all be without windows, probably looking at the web through our doors... LOL __{{emoticon}}__
I only run win98 on that lappy to play dos games in the dos box.... it was the last version of windows that still ran over dos...

LOL, that's the only reason I used to boot into Windoze XP twice yearly. __{{emoticon}}__ My latest Antix install drive is totally Windows-FREEEEE, so I finally got to install w/the clock set to UTC!
