and it just sits there.

tried googling it to find help

any ideas?
 
Differences on how Linux and Windows sets time.

Usually the 'correct' method is that the hardware clock is set to greenwitch mean time, or "universal" or "internet" time. Were as Windows always used to like to set it to local time. I think it's more traditional to do it that way since it's not realy that unusual to have users that are in different time zones for servers and whatnot.

I think that's right. Not entirely sure though.

If that is your problem then just ignore it, as long as your able to install everything fine and get it running. Then install ntpdate or ntpd so that at boot up time your system has it's time synced with atomic clocks out there on the internet. Then it should save the time to your hardware when you reboot. Then you can do the same for windows. Ntp is network time protocol. You can use it to keep your computers in sync.. if you have a bunch of computers on a LAN then typically you run your own time server.

(the time will appear to end users as their local, btw. In Unix/linux all the time is realy counted in seconds from Jan 1st 1970 so time zones are such are just suppose to be a convience to end users.)

If you want to have everything set to local time then that's possible also..

OK, so here is my problem.

I go through the whole SUSE installation setup, and when i try to accept it, an error comes up saying that the time I have put is in the past. When i try to go back and change the time in the setup, however, it will not work. I get to the Timezone page, and choose USA, Eastern, and try to change the time, but the changes never apply. I check bios and sure enough, my date is set to may 6th. What i have figured out is that everytime i change the time in the SUSE setup, my bios time gets changed to 4 hours ahead, which is why that time error keeps me from installing suse.

Any ideas?

i will post my setup in a few

I don't think SuSE can affect the time in the bios.. can it?.. Not sure why you're getting these time errors.. Suse 10.1 is going to release may 12th if that helps, lol?
 
yea i got it installed, i had to change the date to 2007 in the installation to get it to work, very weird... now when i boot up, it hangs at "starting HAL daemon"
 
So you've already installed it to the hard drive? Try to do a repair install from the cd/dvd. If that doesn't work, try to update the system with yast with the cd/dvd.
 
with more googling i was able to find that some people had this happen with certain CD drives. So i unplugged my cd drive and am now able to install package cd2 🙂. i just need to find another drive to use 🙁
