To use an UNIX and a Windows OS on a single machine often may case
some troble in the timezone management.
As far I know, Windows expects BIOS time to be the local time; UNIX
prefers BIOS time set to Universal Time (UTC).
So, using standard Linux distros togheter with Linux, it is better
to choice "local time" in the BIOS clock.
In muLinux, the "date" command works differently: this is a simple
command in the busybox, patched by me to use the /etc/time.conf
file.
The 'date' command, in muLinux, add the value stored in /etc/time.conf
to the value got from the BIOS. So, in /etc/time.conf you have "-1",
'date' will shows BIOS-1.
