Subject: Update cheatcodes to clarify hardware clock and timezone defaults
X-Git-Tag: v0.33.1~3^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=7f304b5c6bac2ce8213737848a8a181c8a8537cb

Update cheatcodes to clarify hardware clock and timezone defaults

While debugging grml/grml#61, it was unclear for me what the expected
behavior should be. Grml defaults to LOCAL (in /etc/adjtime) which
means that Hardware Clock is expected to be set in local time (which is
usually the case on Windows only systems).

The time zone defaults to UTC.
