  <para os="c">The <command>setclock</command> script reads the time from the
  hardware clock, also known as the BIOS or the Complementary Metal Oxide
  Semiconductor (CMOS) clock. If the hardware clock is set to UTC, this
  script will convert the hardware clock's time to the local time using
  the <filename>/tools/etc/sysconfig/clock</filename> file (which tells the
  <command>hwclock</command> program which timezone the user is in). There
  is no way to detect whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC, so
  this needs to be configured manually.</para>



  <para os="d">If you do not know whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC,
  you can find out after you have booted the new machine by running the
  <userinput>hwclock --localtime  --show</userinput> command, and if
  necessary editing the <filename>/tools/etc/sysconfig/clock</filename> file.
  The worst that will happen if you make a wrong guess here is that the
  time displayed will be wrong.</para>
