Those commands were successful. At the moment, I think I have the problem fixed. I had a little trouble with ntpd, but it kicked in when I stopped and restarted it. Then I set the hardware clock with: hwclock --directisa --hctosys It appears that this happens normally in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, which had the empty assignment HWCLOCKPARS= I have switched this to HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" It may be this needs to be set in hwclock.sh, not in /etc/default/rcS. I'll keep an eye on things. Thanks for your help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
