Heeee....  heee... Looks  like you  are right.  BIOS clock  support is
built INTO the FC kernel.

But, his complaint was the  colck shows _last_ shutdown time, not that
there is an inconsistency in time.

Guess   `tzconfig'   or  `tzsetup`   from   each   of  distros   might
help. Remember to use `ctrl C' to abort.
