Indeed, though multiboot is not generally done by normal users, it's
really annoying
for people with many OSes when they step on each other's toes.
And since we can't claim world domination just yet we have to cope with
less
mannered systems.
that's why most OSes let you disable "daylight saving time".
Haiku should too.
One more thing : Haiku uses to ask me for DST switch too early.(Time Zone =
France)
