Hello All,
Why does my hardware clock go slow after every time I run Linux?
Evidently Debian resets the hardware clock to the system clock every time it shuts down. How ever the system loads the time from the hard ware clock when Debian boots up. If it can rely on the hard ware clock at start-up why can't rely on it at shut down too?
Also the time maintained by the system should be more accurate than the hard ware clock. In my case why is it not so? Since I have compiled the kernel, I might have missed some important configuration option?
This problem has developed recently. I regularly update the sid version that I am using.
Thanks p v mathew

In my experience, this can be a rather nebulous
"head-scratcher" of a problem. After fiddling with it
for a bit on my fiancee's machine, I just installed
ntpdate and was done with it.

How ever The system I am using has only a dial up connection to the net. And that connection is used rarely only. In short it is a stand alone desktop. Also I am a bit curious about the questions I have raised above.
Thanks p v mathew
