In this dialog, shown in Figure 1.1, “Selecting the Time Zone”, select your region and time zone from the lists. During installation both are preset according to the selected installation language. Choose between ‘Local Time’ and ‘UTC’ (GMT) under ‘Hardware Clock Set To’. The selection depends on how the BIOS hardware clock is set on your machine. If it is set to GMT, which corresponds to UTC, your system can rely on SUSE Linux to switch from standard time to daylight saving time and back automatically. Click ‘Change’ to set the current date and time. When you are satisfied with the settings, click ‘Next’ to proceed.
