Does anyone know of a BL2 compatible time-syncing utility?  One of those
that sync's your system clock with one of the internet time servers?  I've
looked around for such utilities in the past but have not had much
success.  I'd like to be able to more easily reset the time on one of my
BL2 test machines, since its CMOS battery seems to be dieing.

Thanks, James

That's not what we mean by "graphics". In order to do *inline* 
graphics you need X or else links with svgalib.

You don't need an external viewer with "links -g".

I don't know if I have explained very well, but I hope it makes 
more sense now.
