there was some discussion not to just set BIOS back to kernel clock, but use the adjtime file that hwclock can use to compensate for the systematic drift, which is better in the long run than keep having to rest the BIOS.

in case it's not clear: Expland the setclock script to use adjtime whenever appropriate. Perhaps add notes to run something through a cron if that would help in keeping the clock more acurate

Not sure if I mentioned anything lately but it being a P5 bug means discussion on lfs-dev first. there's some issue where to write the data to (read-only / partition, ppl may not be using the FHS changes to write to /var
Anyways through it on lfs-dev first (as with all/most P5 bugs) and get a concensus before doing anything.

Marking but as WONTFIX. See the extensive thread starting at: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2003-November/040100.html
Saving for later. I don't want to change any of the bootscripts before the lfs-3.0 release (not enough time to properly test everything).
