If I boot the machine to PC DOS 6.2, "time" produces a current time that remains correct after a few hours, but running FC4, the time displayed by GNOME runs at about twice real time. Based upon one (accidental) test, it appears that the FC4/GNOME combination causes the hardware clock to run backward (lose time), if I reboot to DOS. > > IIRC I've seen this complaint from both WinXP and Linux users. Since the time remains correct while DOS runs, it seems pretty clear to me that this is a communication problem between the hardware and the system clock, but after reading some of the related man pages, I'm still lost. > > I can't run hwclock as myself or as su from a bash console.
