I had hwclock daemon started when booting into Linux and upon shutdown and restart it saved the data and noticed that it was set to UTC but when I booted in OS X (for digital imaging) the time was off by the hrs from UTC. So I removed the hwclock daemons from starting and then used hwclock --localtime --hctosys or was it hwclock --localtime --systohc (I can not remember which one work to get the 2 times in sync but they did work for that part.) Now, clearning by resetting the p-ram would get it back to 'normal' but then how would i set the clock to utc? I am asuming it is by the same methods I used before. It looks like in OS X that I can only set the clock to local time zone or am I mistaken? > MacOS 9 used to have the real time clock in local time with an offset in > PRAM, and that did confuse things.

I can reset the PRAM using the comand-option-p-r but I do not have OS 9 on my PB since it is only OS X and Linux or can that be done in OS X? -Adam and many thanks :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
