    Hello,

    it will be possible to activate SetClockNTP by default in MorphOS ISO?

    Why is deactivated please?

    A suggestion to facilitate the user:

    When click on "Set Date and time using Internet" in Time and Date prefs, MorphOS save a ENVARC file named NTP (for example) set to "1"

    and in user-network-startup file write:

    If ENV:NTP = 1
    SetClockNTP
    Endif

    Possible?

    SetClockNTP cannot work without the user configuring his time zone, therefore it makes no sense for it to be enabled when booting from ISO.

    Thanks jacadcaps for your answer, i have forgot the set of Timingzone.

    MorphOS couldn't detect it automatically (the Timingzone)?

    And about the prefs file (maybe save TimeZone into it if needeed) and autoactivation of SetClockNTP at startup if the prefs file is set to "1"?

    The goal here is to propose do not edit the network-user-startup by the newbie user to activate SetClockNTP.

    We could use a service like ip-api.com (free for non-commercial use) or ipapi.co (free up-to 1000 / day).
