<para>This tool<footnote>
<para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis role="bold">drakclock</emphasis> as root.</para>
</footnote> is found under the tab System in the Mageia Control Center
labelled <guilabel>"Manage date and time"</guilabel>. In some desktop
environments it is also available by a right click / Adjust date and Time
... on the clock in the system tray.</para>
<para>It's a very simple tool.</para>
<para>On the upper left part, is the <emphasis role="bold">calendar</emphasis>. On the screenshot above, the date is
September (on the upper left), 2012 (on the upper right), the 2nd (in blue)
and it is a Sunday. Select the month (or year) by clicking on the little
arrows on each side of September (or 2012). Select the day by clicking on
its number.</para>
<para>On the bottom left is the <emphasis role="bold">Network Time
Protocol</emphasis> synchronising, it is possible to have a clock always on
time by synchronising it with a server. Check <guilabel>Enable Network Time
Protocol</guilabel> and choose the closest server.</para>
<para>On the right part is the <emphasis role="bold">clock</emphasis>. It's
useless to set the clock if NTP is enabled. Three boxes display hours,
minutes and seconds (15, 28 and 22 on the screenshot). Use the little arrows
to set the clock to the correct time. The format can't be changed here, see
your desktop environment settings for that.</para>
<para>At least, on the bottom right, select your time zone by clicking on
the <guibutton>Change Time Zone</guibutton> button and choosing in the list
the nearest town.</para>
<note>
<para>Even if it isn't possible to choose a date or time format in this
tool, they will be displayed on your desktop in accordance with the
localisation settings.</para>
