From af1c0f03ead8dcce69cd57b416c20b3843bc21bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Burgess Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 22:34:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove pre-Systemd setclock configuration instructions. git-svn-id: http://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/branches/systemd/BOOK@10193 4aa44e1e-78dd-0310-a6d2-fbcd4c07a689 --- chapter07/chapter07.xml | 1 - chapter07/setclock.xml | 68 ----------------------------------------- 2 files changed, 69 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 chapter07/setclock.xml diff --git a/chapter07/chapter07.xml b/chapter07/chapter07.xml index a141539be..505712448 100644 --- a/chapter07/chapter07.xml +++ b/chapter07/chapter07.xml @@ -17,7 +17,6 @@ - diff --git a/chapter07/setclock.xml b/chapter07/setclock.xml deleted file mode 100644 index 1daa445ef..000000000 --- a/chapter07/setclock.xml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,68 +0,0 @@ - - - %general-entities; -]> - - - - - Configuring the setclock Script - - - setclock - configuring - - The setclock script reads the time from the hardware - clock, also known as the BIOS or the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor - (CMOS) clock.
