The GUI tool 'system-config-date' (in a package with the same > name) is a graphical tool for setting date/timezone settings./etc/sysconfig/clock shows ZONE="Etc/GMT-6". running 'system-config-date' from cli, and setting hardware clock to UTC and system clock to CST, several times, 'hwclock' kept showing clock to be CST. so, i ran 'system-config-date' one more time and selected UTC for both and set clock to UTC time. weird, but that set bios clock to UTC and i was able to open 'System Settings' window, select 'Date & Time', and set system time to correct time using chicago as time zone. too bad it does not have CST in settings because i live in memphis, tn. ;-) shame all that could not bet set correctly using 'hwclock'. thank you for replying. now for some 'head rest', then some reading of centos upgrade tool before i go back to attempt install. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates.

Namely, the --utc option. If you don't tell your system that the BIOS is stored as UTC, then it will assume it's local time. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
