Re: [newbie] Time Setting
Have you run through the Time Wizard in Mandrake Control Center? If so, did you have to change anything to get the correct time? Yes. MCC's depiction of the current time is the correct one. From KDE's clock, I then do Adjust Date and Time'; that launches kcmshell, which needs the root password. Previously, that command resulted in no output. Now it displays a dialog similar to the drak time wizard, so it could well be the same program, but it has a different idea of the time zone. It told me that I was in EDT with no time zone selected. How it got that idea, I haev no clue, as it was correct when I lauched KDE. But to fix it - I had to select the proper timezone in that dialog, and click the check box in KDE's clock (show timezone) to local rather than America/Los Angeles. Now it is showing the correct time, unless it really thinks it's 8:43 AM now :). Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] David E.

Thanks for the link. As a common user without any computing course or refined computing skills, I couldn't agree more with the article. One has only to be _open_ to learn more. I am not sure about this, but I think what kind of prevents Linux from growing in desktop use is a hardware item: the modem. It's extremely unbelievably hard to find modems that are compatible to Linux. I would have 'converted' many friends who have computers to Linux, I would even install Linux in their computers, but when I ask them what kind or brand of modem they have, either they do not know it or it is an on-board modem that is Windows-dependent. Maybe this impression is not so bleak. But I'm sure you guys out there can enlighten me.
