Sorry: I already deleted the first messages in this thread, so I had to take this one for replying: I had a lot of trouble with this time config stuff, too. But this was already some months ago. And if my leaking memory serves me well, that's the page that perhaps has saved me then: <http://www.dk.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s8.6.3> Excerpt: ---------------------------------------------------------------- 8.6.3 Set time (BIOS) # date MMDDhhmmCCYY # hwclock --utc # hwclock --systohc # hwclock --show This will set system and hardware time to MM/DD hh:mm, CCYY. Times are displayed in local time but hardware time uses UTC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >From 'info date', Node: Setting the time (excerpt): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The argument must consist entirely of digits, which have the following meaning: `MM' month `DD' day within month `hh' hour `mm' minute `CC' first two digits of year (optional) `YY' last two digits of year (optional) `ss' second (optional) -------------------------------------------------- HTH Good luck.
