I was an hour late for my class today because Mandrake 10.1 automatically
changed to EST from EDT and I didn't realize it. How do I disable this? Or
better yet, configure it so it knows the new time change dates? I'm not
seeing any obvious option like "enable Daylight Savings Time" in anything
associated with right-clicking the time. Using KDE 3.2.

I'm not seeing anything that has to do with setting the dates when EDT
starts and EST begins (and vice versa). I've already set the timezone to
Eastern time. That's not the problems.

If one were to search Google Newsgroups a bit, one might find:

Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Time, PHP/Mandrake Linux, March 2007. Options?

It has been posted here many times.
Get the file
tzdata2007a.tar.gz /* look for a newer file, just in case */
from many places on the web
Go to the directory where you downloaded it
tar -xzf tzdata2007a.tar.gz
zic northamerica
rm /etc/localtime
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver /etc/localtime
(or if you are unfortunate enough not to live in Vancouver, use the nearest
large city with the same timezone as you have)
That is it.
If you have a program which runs continuously and needs the correct local
time, restart that program. Otherwise sit back and enjoy

OR
urpmi timezone-2007h-1.1mdv

Cheers!
