For me, uncommenting it works. Disadvantage: in the bios you have to keep the time it is without dst being active. If you are using other os's as well, you might want to change the variables in clock.c that mark the start and end of dst. You can also install Andrew Chernov's hacked date(1). It was posted some time ago. -Guido
