it initially was about NTP. I thought I could reset system time at each
restart. And I believe it is the battery because it often forgets the time.
usually it is only off a couple of hous but a couple of times it has been
off by decades. it has said it was 2031.

Unless there are glued in place, I invite you to apply some elbow grease to
it!
That'll get 'er!
Thanks,

It's not that I don't want to replace it. It is just that the screws
holding the board in place are too securely tight. I will spend the $40 to
have it replaced.

Steve is correct, you should replace the battery or replace the hardware. An
improper time at boot can cause any number of “wonky” things, but also opens up
some VERY nasty security attacks that revolve around timing. It is difficult
and time consuming to get a system out of time with NTP
bummer... it isn't simply a matter of setting to network time every time.
Unfortunately, replacing my cmos battery means I have to get a couple of
screws loose and get to the underside of my motherboard (my puter is like
7"x7"x2.5").

How does one set it up so that arch doesn't need a cmos battery. Mine is
going belly-up and I don't want to replace it. I was thinking I shouldn't
need to with NTP. What do you think?
