Thanks for the tip. This time probably the problem will be solved. this kind of things occurs in others distros or it is tipical in suse ?
I think it may be tipical of suse; at least, if I believe a friend of mine who uses windows and tries linux mandrake, suse and others like linex, it is when he uses suse that the clock goes off track - till I told him how to avoid the problem, but he took some convincing :-)
The suse way works very well if you just uses suse linux all the time, but not so well if you double boot, or if you change the system time without paying attention to the hardware clock.

I don't think that's completely correct Carlos. On my machine, dual-booting (actually, SuSE 8.2,8.0, and W98SE), my clock has always worked fine. My friends system, who dual-boots also with SuSE 8.0 and W98SE, goes whacko every once in a while with the time, so I figure, it's got to be something with the hardware or the BIOS, *not* the SuSE software. Of course I don't know how to check this, but since it works for me and not my friend, and the same with others...some works fine, some doesn't, and *knowing* that not everyone could possibly have the same hardware all the time sort of makes my theory more concrete (in my mind at least, heh). Take it easy and be good, John
