Here's something that's been buggine me:

When i bought the Toshiba T4800CT (for $13.33 !),
the hard-drive was completely blank. So i installed
BL onto it as the only OS.

Now, everytime i turn on the machine, it calculates
the date from the day that i installed BL, but it
thinks that that day was January 1, 1990.

I reset the date every time i reboot, if i remember
to do it, but a lot of times i forget, so now the
dates on my files are all messed up.

Is there a way to set a more permanent date?
I thought maybe it was messed up because there's
probably a nearly-dead CMOS battery or something
like that ... but it obviously remembers the
amount of time that has passed since the day
i bought it.
