Re: hwclock --adjust in slink
I did not fully understand you. Does or doesn't the BIOS get the right time
after the system is shutdown?
In any case, there are hw K scripts:
[18:17:27 /tmp]$ ls /etc/rc?.d/*hw*
/etc/rc0.d/K25hwclock.sh /etc/rc6.d/K25hwclock.sh /etc/rcS.d/S50hwclock.sh
[18:22:27 /tmp]$
Note that your system somehow got S instead of K for rc0 and rc6.
I am running unstable.
