I can't recall the exact detail but during the install you're asked whether to use the H/W clock for determining the time. If you answer yes it can lead to conflicts on multi-boot systems. I now always answer 'no' and booting between XP and other linux systems on the box doesn't screw up the time. rerun base-config to reset Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
