===Setting The Clock & Timezone===
You may set the date and time as follows:
<ol>
<li> Connect to the Internet. (For details, see [[#How can I access the Internet?|How can I access the Internet?]] )
<li> Open a Linux prompt. (For details, see [[#How do I access a Linux command prompt?|How do I access a Linux command prompt?]] Note that unless you are an advanced user, you should use the Terminal Activity button to open the prompt.)
<li> Log in as "root". Assuming you are using the Terminal Activity program, you can log in as root by typing "su -" at the command prompt and pressing the Enter key. Note that as user "root" you have the ability to destroy all software on the XO, so you should end your session as soon as you successfully change the date and time.
<li> At the command prompt, enter the following commands:<br>
<code>/usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov</code><br>
<code>/usr/sbin/hwclock --systohc</code>
<li> Press the Enter key after each. In response to the ntpdate command, if it successfully contacts this US government official time server, the system will output a line of data displaying the correct date and time.
<li> Click the "Stop" icon [[Image:Quit.gif|25px]] at the upper right corner of the screen to log out and close the Terminal Activity program.
</ol>
