Hello

 

Well just happened that in the last install I've done, venti started to dump before i can edit termrc, remove the -L from termrc and reboot. (really acme hanged while loading due to the initial dump, when the load went down acme started as usual, but fossil was dumped). May be i should be more quickly, but after installing without dma, i wasn't seeing the screen :)

 

as you said if there is no real problem with venti, it doesn't matter. one can change the timezone and the termrc later.

 

thanks

The contents of /adm/timezone/local have no effect on what
time(0) returns during the install.  They only affect what time zone
is used to *print* the time.

They do matter if you're running aux/timesync -L, because -L says
assume that the PC clock is set to local time instead of GMT.
If your local PC clock is set to GMT (e.g., you are not dual-booting
with Windows) then just remove the -L from termrc after installing.
This is not hard.
