If you use Gentoo you can emerge NTP and then set it up to run at boot to ensure your date is right on. This snip assumes you are in Central Timezone:
#ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime #emerge net-misc/ntp #ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net #echo "ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

That seemed to get it. Now I need to get the date set correctly. This laptop sat for a while and the clock is wrong. Thanks. Rob

I use:
cp -aR
Does that work?
