System clock (Clock 2.4.2)

cbrooker27
I have only been running linux for about a month, and until this week everything was great. Now, my system clock (in the tray) will only show GMT time. If I open the Adjust date and time dialog, it shows the proper time GMT-4 for EDT.

Driver installation from hell

Koba
Hello everyone. See what I mean? An nightmare if there ever was one but I am going to let it defeat me. I can't expect anyone to go through all that so I will break my questions into small steps. I've had a go but it didn't work.

dysfunctional bootloader

skorchio
Evening all, My system runs XP pro and Mandrake 9. 1, dualboot with the grub bootloader. I recently used Partition magic to create a new partition (logical) for windows data on my drive. It was doing its thing, so I left the machine to its devices.

Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

Double0Three
I am a first time Linux user, looking to get started with this Operating System. Just sick of Windows and like the whole idea behind open source and whatnot.
