system time is changed with the 'date' command (as root)

After doing this, you can update the hardware clock if necessary with
"sudo hwclock --systohc"

Sorry for stupid questions.
I found everything I wanted where you said.

thx a lot

One more Q:
where can I choose programs that I want to have run when the system boots??

For non-graphical applications run as root, such as daemons and system configuration, add commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh

For user-run apps:
.bash_profile for apps to start at login.
.xinitrc for anything run with the graphical desktop.

If you add an application which continues to run more than a second or two, add a "&" at the end of the command. In .xinitrc, make sure the commands are added above the "fluxbox" line.

Actually, how do/can you change the way the date is displayed? Don't like month/day/year, prefer day/month/year

Seems theres a date format string in the man page,
can't try it right now, 'cos I'm at work chained to
a laptop with terminal Gates Disorder.

Heh heh heh, I'll slip my little 182Mb disc in, in a couple of
hours.... :cool:

edit:Sorry, I get it now that I've read it closely,
if you want dd:mm:yy in Fluxbox taskbar,
edit ~/.fluxbox/init
about halfway down, line that says-
session.screen0.strftimeFormat: %m/%d/%y %I:%M %P

change the %d/ and %m/ around.
