It's about time

[Denver Dave]

Hi - I'm new to Knoppix and I've been experimenting with ubuntu for a couple of months, so please excuse if I'm missing the obvious.

I booted up the install CD and thought I'd change the time display to be a little clearer for me. So far, this thread is the best I've found for directions for the digital clock. Are the settings based on PHP, PERL or something? Where are the settings documented?

With information in this thread, I've changed to pm without a leading zero in the time, but haven't figured out how to show a 4 digit year in the tool tip. (Any ideas?)

I've found a help manual, but nothing found when searching for clock

Anyway, just starting, but hope this isn't an indication I might be trying the wrong distro.

On the positive side, my right side scroll works on my touchpad (hoorah).
