I was quite impressed last saturday when I saw my clock switching from
2:00 to 3:00 - as at this momement dst started in germany. My kernel is
from March 2, I think.

I use /usr/share/zoneinfo/MET as /etc/localtime and have the kernel configured
as

timezone        -1 dst 4

(My wife is running DOS on this machine for doom sometimes ;-)

I set this strange dst value after diging in some old ultrix(?) man pages.
There were several dst-changing-method listed and 4 was the code for the 
central europe one.

I used to have a dcf77 clock because I never was able to get this right
with the comercial SVR4 I did run before...
