To copy this time to your hardware clock, type this: hwclock --systohc Check out 'hwclock --help' for more info on that utility. -- _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
