Hello,

I have two questions about the setclock script.

1) It sets CLOCKPARAMS to the empty string _after_ sourcing the 
/etc/sysconfig/clock configuration file, and then appends either --utc 
or --localtime there. Is this a thinko? Did you mean to set CLOCKPARAMS 
to the empty string _before_ sourcing the configuration file, so that a 
user might place, e.g., CLOCKPARAMS="--directisa" or 
CLOCKPARAMS="--rtc=/dev/rtc0" there?

2) With the hardware clock in UTC, the bootscript executes "hwclock 
--hctosys --utc", however, "strace -e open hwclock --hctosys --utc" 
indicates that the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Universal file is also being 
opened. However, the setclock script runs before mounting /usr. Is this 
a problem? (with --localtime, it doesn't open any files from /usr).
