Hi *,
 
Short question time.  I got a new kernel rebuilt, but the time is way
off. 
 
I have a line in YOURCONF (my configuration file) like:
timezone  -1 dst
 
I thought this was correct to fix a daylight savings time problem, but
the time is now 11 hours off or so from PST.  This isn't related to the
/etc/localtime problem I reported earlier - it's something different.
