Re: PSA: Clock drift and pkgin

[Ken Wellsch <kwellsch%tampabay.rr.com@localhost>]

I did not have as much time as I hoped with the uVAX-II.

I should also mention that it has a relatively new battery pack, so it appears the TOY clock did
a great job keeping time - I don't have "ntpdate" enabled unless there is some other network thing
that may happen in the background I don't know about - I ran the ntpdate's below myself.

These were the details I was able to capture.
