OpenBSD takes the time from the filesystem in that case and boots. I wish linux did. I had a mate who used to ring me up everytime his mother in law unplugged the laptop and it was a laptop that's cmos was a pain to replace. I believe he ended up in 2034 or something after a few months because I told him the bios key and meant he could avoid fsck that sometimes gave him various problems =-) He was anti slow machines (Vista) and liked linux after being skeptical. I can't see him trying linux again now :-( -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
