Re: Setting Hardwareclock

["J. Steinbachs" <jen@compbiology.org>]

Actually, I seem to recall that hwclock doesn't function properly on
powerpc.  I found the following article pretty useful:

http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/1042.html

Beware... if you follow these instructions, your modifications
will be obliterated whenever hwclock gets upgraded through apt-get
dist-upgrade.

Hope this helps,
