Hi, Just a quick note to say that I was able to get VmWare Tools installed and setup to sync time on the Slackware system, though a couple of the unnecesary components of it aren't up and running. The procedure was surprisingly easy and required no mucking about with X11. Slackware and the PC even stayed synched through Daylight Savings Time change this morning, though I hated that, let me tell you, for various personal reasons. Ahh, well. Just a quick update. All the best, Zack.
