Pentium clock slowdown (old info request)

[tec at usa1.com (Tom Cavin)]

Hi Folks,

I have a problem with my pentium running linix 1.2.11.  My system 
clock loses time.  I suspect that this may have something to do with 
the power saver stuff in the kernel and the bios, but I really have 
no idea.  (The problem is on the order of hours in a day, as opposed 
to minutes in a week.)

I vaguely remember a thread on comp.os.linux.setup a few weeks ago 
which may have addressed this problem, but I didn't read it then, and 
can't find it now.  I could use help on two fronts.  The first is 
what is going on with my machine and how do I correct it?  And the 
second is how do I accesss netnews archives for the various linux 
groups?

Thanks,

-- Tom
