Re: [gentoo-user] Bug

Dale,

Your fix worked, so far so good. Previously, I tried setting the time from KDE and using the date function and both were overridden on re-boot. One would think that either one of these functions would override the factory presets. 

I see 'date' is a binary file. Does kde also use this function to change its time and date? Where would one find the source package for 'date'?
