saving time zone?
I find that the time zone I set will not survive a reboot. I set the correct system time and time zone by typing 'sudo time-admin' in the lxterm. Then I type 'sudo hwclock -w' which I thought would save the settings after rebooting. However after booting I always have to reset the correct timezone again. This is necessary because I use Tor and it requires the correct time and timezone to work properly.
Any advice so I don't have to keep resetting?

... if you are using Knoppix 6.2 there is a mistake in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autostart. Have a look at
http://www.wp-schulz.de/knoppix/uhrzeit.html
for more information (in german language written).

I am using 6.3 which I got from a magazine. Unfortunately I don't understand German.

# part of /etc/init.d/knoppix-autostart:
#
# Set timezone
KTZ="$(getbootparam tz)"
[ -n "$KTZ" ] || KTZ="$(getbootparam timezone)"
[ -n "$KTZ" -a "$KTZ" != "auto" ] && TZ="$KTZ"
if [ -n "$TZ" ]; then
echo "$TZ" > /etc/timezone
# this will remove /etc/localtime
rm -f /etc/localtime
# /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is a symlink to /etc/localtime
# but /etc/localtime doesn't exist any more.
# Therefore the second part of the if-loop will not work
[ -r /usr/share/zoneinfo/"$TZ" ] \
&& { cp -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/"$TZ" /etc/localtime; }
fi
If this mistake is also in Knoppix 6.3 you must uncomment the lines of the if-loop

Set Time Knoppix hd install
I have been fighting this for a week. Just found a solution: from root: 1)dpkg-reconfigure tzdata 2)date MMDDHHmmCCYY 3)hwclock --localtime 4)hwclock --systohc It survived a reboot. Take care.

I did as you suggested but when I reboot my hardware clock is set to UTC time.
