Drew, Is the #2 CD set up for "tecra" images or "safe" slow SYSLINUX images? I couldn't find the reference in the docs (it's late here and I'm sleepy... probably would have bit me if it were alive...) as to which one CD #2 is built for, but there are differences between those. There's also tec

After Linux boots, the system clock runs without input from the CMOS clock. Probably during "suspend" the system clock stops, and restarts when coming out of suspend mode. Then, since the Debian startup/shutdown scripts do the clock --systohc upon shutdown, the "wrong" time gets put in CMOS and
