Clock and Time Zone
To set up the clock, choose whether the Hardware Clock is Set to UTC. If you run an-
other operating system on your machine, such as Microsoft Windows, it is likely your
system uses local time instead. If you only run Linux on your machine, set the hardware
clock to UTC and have the switch from standard time to daylight saving time performed
automatically.
If a network is already congured, the time is automatically synced via Network Time
Protocol (NTP) with a time server. Click Change to either alter the NTP settings or to
Manually set the time. See Chapter 17, Time Synchronization with NTP (page 323) for
more information on conguring the NTP service. When nished, click Accept to
continue the installation.
