Hi James,

I found that settings already. 
But as I wrote thet I would not have problems with editing crontabs, I
did mean to enter the BIOS each time to enter the wakeup time,
when my Gentoo should again start to count its 64bits... ;)

Is there a way to put this wakeup time into the BIOS via userland
(and without doing harm to BIOS/BIOS flash or whatelse can be
killed tzhat way...)?

Best regards
mcc
