Puppy's clock refuses to keep time

I installed Puppy 1.0.4 to a whitebox:
Athlon XP
512 RAM
40GB HD
Previously it had Ubuntu 5.04 on the HD.
I loaded MS DOS 6.22 (which formats the HD on install), then went through the Puppy install.
The problem now, is my time-icon in LR corner, reads wrong. I keep resetting it to my time zone & resetting the clock, but after a while, the clock reverts to an incorrect time.

there is a solution to this that guest2 kindly provided for me - not sure if it was on previous forum - might be quicker to wear a watch
Anyone remeber the location?

I do, mostly to make it easier for the experts to quickly scan through the forum looking for a post they can answer, and therefore more likely that people who are looking for help will get it, but also to make the forum more useful as a repository of answers for those seeking enlightenment by searching through old posts.
If it disturbs you, I apologize. If you object, I'll stop doing it. (And everyone will have to read every post with a subject line that says 'please help', in order to find out if it contains anything germane to the problem they're having.
)

Merely a question. I found it odd, as the titles I posted seemed to morph into something else. I thought it was The Ghost in The Machine...

I read a post, or a thread, and try to think if the subject line can be improved. It's not always easy. Sometimes people ask several questions in one post, or change the direction of a thread with an off-topic post. I do the best I can. If the question that started a thread gets answered (and I notice it) I add the word "Solved" to the subject line of the thread.
