Hello
So basic it might sound but I can't set the date of my FreeBSD 8.2.
returns
I've tried many samples given on the Internet and on date(1) but still I can't change the date to 24.08.2011. The timezone I selected on sysinstall was Region: 8-Europe and Country: 47-Turkey. (Does the abbreviation EET look reasonable: YES)
all returned illegal time format error.
How to set the date? I need to set the date correctly to download some updates for Ports collection.
