Hi,

on my machines RTC is always in local time. How can I make Alpine set up
to interpret it as local time?

To avoid discussions: RTC in local time has got no disadvantages, but it
has got an advantage for usage on my machines. FWIW it has got nothing
to do with Windows, no Windows is installed on bare metal at all.

Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

Please set clock="local" in /etc/conf.d/hwclock. You may need to use
hwclock --systohc manually one time.

Thank you David,

that's it.

Since I edited Alpine's /etc/conf.d/hwclock by running an Arch session,
I only needed to boot Alpine.
