Presuming that the Linux time is correct, and that you're logged
in as root, ``hwclock -u -w'' will write the Linux time to the
hardware clock.  I can't imagine FP going to the hardware instead
of using the normal Linux/Unix calls to get the time.

Government spending?  I don't know what it's all about.  I don't know
any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he
doesn't know much.
