It's in the util-linux base package in Debian 2.0. I suppose you could get the source for that package and compile it on your 1.3 system(s). Look at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/source/base/util-linux_2.7.1* First download each of: util-linux_2.7.1.tar.gz util-linux_2.7.1_3.diff.gz util-linux_2.7.1_3.dsc Then do: dpkg-source -x util-linux_2.7.1-3.dsc You'll then have a directory called "util-linux-2.7.1". From there go into "sys-utils" and do make hwclock and you should have it. Of course this all assumes that source packages for 2.0 work on 1.3, which I don't know for a fact. Plus, you need the dpkg-dev package installed to use the "dpkg-source" command. You could always just gzip -d -c util-linux_2.7.1.tar.gz|tar xf - and apply the patches manually, or skip them altogether as a last resort. Good Luck!
