[newbie] Wrong date! NEED HELP.

[John l.yn]

Hi:
   I am runing linux based Intel CPU . I found the linux cannt read system
date from BIOS,isnt it?

   Here is my problem:
    1. I type "date" and the system show "Fri May 7 22:20:00 CST 1999". But
the BIOS time is "14:48:00" .
    2. I type 'date -s "14:50:00" +%T ' to correct the date. All thing is ok
now.
    3. After reboot, I type 'date' and the system show "Fri May 7 22:20:00
CST 1999". Why? Linux have lost my config.



Thanks!
