Hi Scott

It was running the latest 2.6.9.42 kernel from CentOS but I have 
reverted it to the original WBEL kernel 2.6.9(whatever - sorry the box 
isn't here) and the time then stayed nearer to being correct, although 
it was slowly gaining when I left it last night.

Incidentally Knoppix 3.8.1 was unusable on this box as it was "too fast" 
- each keypress caused immediate repeating and so even the shell could 
not be used (kernel 2.6.11).

Looks like I have a box which don't like kernel 2.6... Maybe I should 
try WBEL3 or CentOS 3 on it next week (or FC1) - it would be nice to be 
able to deploy this system usefully.

(I will post my Up2date errors later so as not to confuse the issue!)

Thanks

Francies
