how do I force osx to just show the time that is in the bios correctly?
thanks

Dear Spalek83,
Relax, relax . . . . OS X collects and writes clock from/to BIOS directly !!
Tuning can be done with these :-
- Pls correct your clock to ur current time first.
- Use a Terminal,
- type sudo nano /etc/rc.local
- type in ur password
- type date `date -u +%m%d%H%M%Y`
- type Ctrl O (to save)
- type Ctrl X (to exit)
- type sudo nano /etc/rc.shutdown.local
- type date -u `date +%m%d%H%M%Y`
- [look at the differences, will ya !!]
- type Ctrl O (to save)
- type Ctrl X (to exit)
- restart if you wish to check clock in Win7 and restart again to SL.
( DO NOT miss any single character above - otherwise it may not work)
Well, upon next restart SL will be abit a bit lag to show ur tuned clock but if u click ur clock up there, the correct time will be displayed.
Don't worry, the script won't brick ur OS X.
