+<para>This setclock script reads the time from your hardware clock (also

-<para>The setclock script is only for real use when the hardware clock (also
-known as BIOS or CMOS clock) isn't set to GMT time. The recommended
-setup is setting the hardware clock to GMT and having the time converted
-to localtime using the /etc/localtime symbolic link. But if an
-OS is run that doesn't understand a clock set to GMT (most notable are
-Microsoft OS'es) you may want to set the clock to localtime so that
-the time is properly displayed on those OS'es. This script will then 
-set the kernel time to the hardware clock without converting the time using
-the /etc/localtime symlink.</para>
