I suggest manually set your time zone to GMT-6 and then check the "Manually set the daylight saving time" box. In there specify dates that are 1 day apart, perhaps with one at 23:00 and the other at 01:00. That way you have a fake DST period of just a couple of hours.
By not ticking the "manual" box DST will be automatic. But from what you said you don't want to apply DST, correct?You mentioned set it to manual, is there an automatic?

Sorry, I think I have misunderstood the question.
I've just changed my time zone setting to "Central America" and the "Manually set the daylight saving time" box disappears, presumably because it knows that there isn't any DST.
Are you saying that you don't have the "Central America" time zone, or you do but it is applying DST?
EDIT: It's possible I'm seeing different options than you because I am using John's fork of Merlin's firmware.
This is what I see:I don't have Central America. There are only 4 entries in my GMT-6 list, and I'm using "Central Time (US, Canada" for lack of a better option, which is why have the DST issue. My other choices are: Saskatchewan, Monterrey, and Guadalajara.
I tweaked a couple (Chile and Moscow), but didn't touch Central America.Did you add extra time zones to your firmware?
