DESCRIPTION

Mac OS X Daylight Saving Time Software Fix updates your Mac running Mac OS X 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 so that it will properly recognize the daylight savings time switch, as it has changed March 2007. Information about the new daylight savings time change is available at the UNH CIS DST repository.

Installation instructions:

  1. Download "DST_Update.mpkg.zip" and the Installer will automatically start the update process.
  2. Select your Startup Disk - usually "Macintosh HD".
  3. Click on the Install button on the lower right side of the window.
  4. You will need to type in your password to authenticate the installation. If the authentication fails, please try again and/or contact the person(s) responsible for your Macintosh.
  5. The Installer will notify you that you will need to RESTART after it is finished.
  6. When the Installer is finished, you should click the RESTART button.
  7. Your DST Software Fix is complete!

    BRENDAN MCKINLEY  As this patch is needed only for Mac OS X 10.0-10.2.8, I would seriously suggest anyone still using these OS releases to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.3.9.

    Yes there are machines that shouldn't or can't run Tiger, but any machine running 10.0-10.2.8 will run better and more securely with 10.3.9.

    Plus, if you look around on Google for a few minutes you can find copies of Panther for as little as $29.  (Version 1.0)

    DEMOLITION  I installed UNH's DST fix on one of our older G4 towers still running 10.2.8. It was a very easy process. Checking the localtime info via Terminal (as described on UNH's DST tech info page) shows that the new DST settings are in place.

    Overall, this was a worthwhile undertaking.  (Version 1.0)

    FULTONKBD  Didn't Apple already release a patch for 10.3.9? I vaguely remember installing something about DST just a week or so ago.  (Version 1.0)
