Hey I think the subject title says it all - my date keeps getting reset to this date every 2nd or third time i boot (this machine is not always on). I boot from srm - on Nautilus The hwclock function is fine, and hwclock --hctosys fixes the problem, but it is really a nuisance. Thanks Rob -- -----------------------------------------------> mlaich.com Robert Martinovic mlaich@bigpond.com www.mlaich.com icq# 77465568
