[Bug 35423] Re: System clock reverts to GMT at boot

I was about to report a bug about the time going haywire as well, but I
*think* the problem described in this bugreport is identical to my
problem.

Previous releases of Ubuntu didn't have the Ubiquity Live CD installer.
Those installers used to ask me a question about whether the time was
set to local time or GMT (if I recall correctly). My most recent Ubuntu
install was done with a recent Ubuntu Flight of Dapper, with the
Ubiquity Live CD installer. The Ubiquity installer does not ask the
question.

My timezone is set to Europe/Amsterdam, my time zone is GMT + 02:00
(http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/european-union/the-
netherlands/time.htm). However, my clock is displaying GMT + 04:00.
Maybe Ubuntu thinks my time zone is GMT, and adds another 02:00 to it
for some reason? That's my suspicion, I have no idea.

My Windows XP install - I have a dual boot - is also affected, and is
displaying the incorrect time as well.
