as stated above "fresh and updated c6 install" which brought it up
to c6.6.

/etc/sysconfig/clock shows  ZONE="Etc/GMT-6".

running 'system-config-date' from cli, and setting hardware clock to
UTC and system clock to CST, several times, 'hwclock' kept showing
clock to be CST. so, i ran 'system-config-date' one more time and
selected UTC for both and set clock to UTC time. weird, but that
set bios clock to UTC and i was able to open 'System Settings'
window, select 'Date & Time', and set system time to correct time
using chicago as time zone. too bad it does not have CST in settings
because i live in memphis, tn. ;-)

shame all that could not bet set correctly using 'hwclock'.

thank you for replying.

now for some 'head rest', then some reading of centos upgrade tool
before i go back to attempt install.
