I’ve created a brief cookbook for applying Daylight Savings Time patches for LINUX boxes where patches are not generally available or have failed for some other reason. This example is on a OpenSuSE 10.0 system in CST6CDT where Yast attempts to apply the timezone patch failed.

This document is attached as a PDF since some of the required formatting induced a series of WordPress errors. As this information is time sensitive, I’ve posted this process in the most expedient method.

Thank you to Peter Fleck for requiring me to collect this process in some meaningful way.

Your mileage may vary. Proceed with care.
