Caution
Runlevel Configuration
Incorrect settings for system services and runlevels can render
your system useless. To retain the operability of your system,
consider the possible consequences before modifying any of
these settings.
Caution
More information about runlevels in SUSE LINUX can be found in Chap-
ter 11 on page 265.
2.8.10 Sysconfig Editor
The directory /etc/sysconfig contains the files with the most impor-
tant settings for SUSE LINUX. The sysconfig editor displays all settings in
a well-arranged form. The values can be modified and saved to the indi-
vidual configuration files. Generally, manual editing is not necessary, as the
files are automatically adapted when a package is installed or a service is
configured.
Caution
System Configuration with /etc/sysconfig/
Do not edit the files in /etc/sysconfig if you do not know
exactly what you are doing, as this could seriously inhibit the
operability of your system.
Caution
More information about /etc/sysconfig/ can be found in Chap-
ter 11 on page 265.
2.8.11 Time Zone Selection
The time zone was already set during the installation, but you can make
changes here. Click your country or region in the list and select ‘Local time’
or ‘GMT’ (Greenwich Mean Time). ‘GMT’ is often used in Linux systems.
Machines with additional operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows,
mostly use local time.
