every time i reboot my clock in linux goes back 5 hrs. why?
The clock goes back to GMT (I bet you're in US/Eastern). You screwed up the installation somehow. You've got 2 choices: 1. Keep bios with local time. Run yast as root: Administration->Time Zone. Select a zone, and then tell yast that your bios is local time - NOT GMT time. 2 (Preferred). Set bios to GMT. Do the same thing with yast, but tell it that your clock is @ GMT. This way daylight savings will be automatically activated. -- ET.
