8.5.11 /etc/sysconfig Editor
The directory /etc/sysconfig contains the files with the most important settings
for SUSE Linux Enterprise. Use System > /etc/sysconfig Editor to modify the values
and save them to the individual configuration files. Generally, manual editing is not
necessary, because the files are automatically adapted when a package is installed or a
service is configured. More information about /etc/sysconfig and the YaST
sysconfig editor is available in
Section 17.3.1, "Changing the System Configuration
Using the YaST sysconfig Editor"
(page 402).
8.5.12 Time and Date Configuration
The time zone is initially set during installation, but you can change it with System >
Date and Time. Also use this to change the current system date and time.
To change the time zone, select the region in the left column and the location or time
zone in the right column. With Hardware Clock Set To, set whether the system clock
should use Local Time or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). UTC is often used in
Linux systems. Machines with additional operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows,
mostly use local time.
Set the current system time and date with Change. In the dialog that opens, modify the
time and date by entering new values or adjusting them with the arrow buttons. Press
Apply to save the changes.
8.5.13 Language Selection
The primary and secondary languages for your system are set during installation.
However, they can be changed at any time using System > Language. The primary
language set in YaST applies to the entire system, including YaST and the desktop en-
vironment. This is the language you expect to use most of the time. Secondary languages
are languages that are sometimes needed by users for a variety of purposes, such as
desktop language or word processing.
