Is there really nothing that hwclock can do to detect and avoid this situation? I would be loath to add this kind of stuff to the boot-floppies, particularly if it means the user has to ask more questions. (Admittedly that probably doesn't matter so much for m68k, but still.) p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
