Hello:
Here's one that's been driving me crazy.  I installed VMWare on a Mandrake 
machine (Mandrake 8, actually, couldn't get it working on the newer 
Mandrake.)  It runs horribly because it can't see the real-time clock 
(/dev/rtc.)  Actually it says this device doesn't exist, but I can see in the 
/dev directory that the /dev/rtc file DOES exist.  I'm starting vmware as 
root so it shouldn't be a permission problem.   I've been googling this to no 
avail.  Somebody posted something about needing to recompile the kernel 
(ugh!) is that really true?  (I can do it, I just hate doing it, that's all.) 
 Why the heck would anyone in their right mind omit rtc support from a 
default version of a kernel?

Thanks,
Vaughn Treude
