- Change the file /etc/timezone to contain only one single line: Europe/Copenhagen if Denmark is your local timezone otherwise fit to your needs
- Copy the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen to /etc/localtime - still if you're in Denmark
- Reboot and check that the time information is correct - CEST for Central European Summer Time or, in wintertime, CET Central European Time.
