<div class="im">I finally had a look at the bios. Knoppix was reading that time. I don't know if I ever set the bios time. It may have never been set, or it might be slipping due to old CMOS Battery. If that's the case, I will just let it slip until I get some really bad behaviour. Changing the CMOS battery entails a complete teardown, including removal of the mobo. I might consider cutting hole thru the backside to change the battery. Cover it w/duck tape.</div></blockquote><div>
