partitions do not end on cylinder boundaries

Hello, I had Windows XP on a ThinkPad T40. I used partition magic 8 to create a 20 gig empty partition at the end of logical drive E before installing Debian Etch. Installation went fine. I can boot to both Windows XP and Debian. Everything appears to work fine, but I get horrible warnings if I t

daylight saving

Hi all, I'm intrigued about how linux changes the time according to the daylight saving time rules. I know that those rules are stored in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ but I don't know which process does this change, I'm pretty sure it can't be a cron task that does this change, am I wrong? Anybody
