Drew,
If you want some help getting NTP to work, let me know. It's very
accurate, usually requires that you run the hardware clock in GMT (I've
never gotten it to work any other way...?), and if your system clock is

Hi,
I have been using different flavours of Linux on all sorts of laptops, but
there was never (well, hardly ever ;--) a problem with clock times or
suspend modes, when
a) the kernel was build supporting power management

The bz patch was not accepted in the kernel. This usually means it was a bad

As to the messed up slink, I always boot laptops w/ floppies. Yes I know we
need to fix this. Hopefully we will. But not in slink.

Hi Drew,
