I did. AFAIU this sets the time zone (which is correct),
it does not set the difference between the hardware
clock (AKA rtc) and the system clock.

I want to change the system clock, without changing
the hardware clock which is shared with Windows.
Formerly I did that with the administration GUI, but
I have upgraded to oi151a8, and I cannot do it any
more.
