[gentoo-user] time always wrong with dual boot
Hi all, I've got a dual boot win and gentoo and I decided to use the GTM time for the linux kernel, but I would like to see my local time. Unfortunately windows seem to touch the time and in gentoo I've always a wrong time. I think this is an old problem... Is there any way to overcome it? Thanks bye -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
