Here's the technical tidbit you're missing. A PC has a hardware clock. It runs off a battery, and keeps time even when the PC is turned off. Windows likes the hardware clock to be set to local time. Linux likes the hardware clock to be set to GMT, also known as UTC. When you looked at the time in the BIOS, you saw the hardware clock's time. There's a way to tell Linux to treat the hardware clock as local time. For Mandrake, you do this by logging in as root, then editing the file /etc/sysconfig/clock. You should see a line in that file that says UTC=true. Change it to UTC=false. Reboot, etc. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
