time keeps changing


hi all,

i've figured out a number of things about my system thanks to the help of people on this site, so thanks for all the help. i have noticed a strange thing on my dual boot w/ win98, which is that the two OS's fight over the system time. for some reason any time i switch between them the clock ends up haywire.

just wondering if anyone else noticed something similar. (i'm experimenting w/ slackware 9.0 right now, but noticed the same thing in mandrake 8 & 9.1)

thanks,

yeah, I have mandrake 9.1 on a dual-boot and my linux time is always wrong when I boot back into it form windows xp. I don't understand why this would happen either, especially since I have a manual switching device between hard drives that requires a complete shut down to go from one os to the other. Hope someone has an answer as to how to resolve this because it's really annoying.

Changes to the system time change the system time in Bios, too, that's why the change transports over even if you switch HDs. So far I have set my Linux to a wrong time zone which -if the error is consistent- should default to the correct time display...
