Can I fix DST without patch kit?

Is there a way to change the OS to support the new US daylight savings time rule without installing the new patch kit?

Thanks

Yes. You can create you own Timezone info file and compile it with zic.

See how to do this here:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/TimePrecision-HOWTO.html

Basics:

- Create a zone file
- Compile it with zic
- Check with zdump
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?
