21 Thanks, but it doesn't work here. I must be doing something wrong.
22
23 Now,
24 I have deleted /etc/localtime
25 /etc/conf.d/hwclock contains
26 clock="local"
27 (which is recommended for a dual boot system with Windows)
28
29 For /etc/timezone
30 I have tried both
31 Europe/Berlin
32
33 and alternatively
34 "Europe/Berlin"
35
36 In both cases I get GMT instead of my local time here.
37
38 Many thanks for a further hint,
39 Helmut.
