    clock eratic after Sarge install?

    Installed Debian Sarge and laptop's clock is all over the place. How fix this? Perhaps need to stop system clock from setting the hardware clock? How do this?

    Thanks any help.

    AFAIK, ntp isn't installed by default (who knows why?). Install it so Debian can sync with a network time server.

    aptitude install ntpdate

    For laptops, or any other computer not constantly hooked up to the internet, just ntpdate will do. For a networked desktop, you should also install ntp-simple.

    aptitude install ntpdate ntp-simple

    It seems to have spontaneously fixed itself. You could easilly get the impression Linux makes a habit of doing this. Anyway will take the advice if it goes wrong again.

    Great thanks the suggestions.
