    Hello,

    I have a few question about the elan patch, which corrects for the wrong
    clock of the AMD cpu:

    1. Can I download it for kernel 2.4.10 anywhere?

    2. Is it possible to detect by user software, that the patch is installed?
    So that I can correct the time every time at midnight if the patch is not
    installed.

    3. Is it possible to install the patch without changing the kernel, but just
    by starting a program?

    4. Or should I just compare the output of "clock" with the output of "date"?
    I think clock is the cmos clock and date the system date?

    I would appreciate any help

    greetings
    Ernst Murnleitner
