Depending upon OP's needs, as they are going to be dual booting, as far as I can tell from the post, the simplest thing would be to set the CentOS install to use localtime. To do that, edit /etc/adjtime. You'll see it says UTC. Change that to LOCAL Reboot. (Might be a way to put it into effect without a reboot, but I don't know) Run ntpdate pool.ntp.org which will set the time. Now, when you boot between the two of them, Windows and Linux, the time will stay the same. The problem is that both systems set the hardware to clock time when shutting down. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Dinner is served.
