World: r3wp

well, the only thing I have running is uniserve, and the imap server

cheyenne

perhaps I should run a script that fixes the date every minute!

Heehee...if you can't beat 'em

now where is the ntp protocol ?

A google of   fedora time drift vmware  shows a lot of info

Debian I just executed  apt-get install ntp  and then forgot about 
it.

crontab ntpdate !

looks like this is a common problem

Yep.

seems it may be a config issue

Good luck.

thanks!

Looks like I have to install gcc ...

crap .. now it can't resolve dependencies to install gcc.

Does Fedora use rpm?

use ... I think I need to click on the fc6 specific gcc package

To get all the dependencies (I don't use rpm - mistakes maybe)

$ rpm -q --qf \ 

 "[%{REQUIRENAME} %{REQUIREFLAGS:depflags} %{REQUIREVERSION}\n]" gcc

Now the installer wants the c header files for my kernel.  How do 
ordinary guys cope with this ??

With lots of coffee

Windows certainly does have advantages

Kernel rebuilds are great...you'll be able to puff out your chest 
when you are done.   But.  have you scoured google and the vmware 
site for patches?  My first kernel rebuild was an all nighter.

not yet .. i'm just running the vmware-tools-config.pl script

and responding to what it needs.

it needs gcc, now installed.

now it needs kernel headers .. looking for those to install.

Yeah...It can get funky - and very very particular.  But once you're 
set up, you'll be king.

Or insane, whatever comes first.  Go for King.  :)

all this just to set my time right!

I'm going to leave a nasty comment to the person who uploaded this 
image!

Under vmware/fedora  - not the normal everyday config.  :)

found a how on source-forge

Nice.  Good luck.

Ahh, blows.  It gets very very particular.

This is getting silly.  I have to run a daytime server on windows 
2003 server so that my cron job on the fedora side can read the time 
and then set the time.

well, that seems to work though!

:)  Long live the King.

Does the clock drift immediately after that?  Or did you win.

well it drifts but I correct it every 2 minutes with my rebol script.

forever [
	if error? set/any 'err try [
		d: read daytime://192.168.220.2
		d: load d

  call rejoin [ "date -s " {"} d/month "/" d/day "/" d/year " " d/time 
  {"} ]
	][ print mold disarm err ]
	wait 0:02:00
] 

]

something along those lines

Ok for now.  I'd keep looking into though.  Shocking the system clock 
every two minutes...hmmm.

well  I have to install the vmware tools .. but I can't recompile 
the kernel without the kernel headers and I can't find them yet.

http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xcapmi00/etoile/<--- Étoilé is starting 
to look very interesting. Here's how they want it to work.

The insiders are pre-planning Debian etch release parties...woohoo! 
 Debian GNU/Linux 4.0

If you haven't, you gotta.  The only cost is time.

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Rev 0 Released!  Happy Happy Easter.
