Re: What year is it, anyway?

Tomas,

Yes, there _has_ to be a way to do in in a linux only system. I got 
tired of Mandrake setting the clock wrong upon boot, and have added this 
to the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
# set clock back to HW clock value upon boot
/sbin/hwclock -s

Of course, this assumes you have set the hardware clock to the right 
date and time in the first place. Use hwclock to do this (see man pages 
for the options).

I hope this helps,

Craig...

Pascal,

My configuration is single boot MacOS on a PB G4 and single boot Linux

(I use Samba to exchange files in a 4GB HFS partition on the G4.)
Does this mean I stuck in 1969 until Mandrake 9.3?

You can boot once with MacOS and change the date and time.
I never had much luck changing the date under linux/ppc.
