[Server-devel] [XSCE] cubox wifi

[Martin Langhoff]

How did you set the date? There's a change in recent Fedoras where using
the "date" command or ntpdate , then rebooting won't store the date in the
RTC. You need to use hwclock to set the hardware RTC.

Gnome UI and ntpd will do the right thing. I don't like this change either,
