      On the Fedora-arm list I learned that chronyd and
      systemd-timesyncd conflict.  F22 is using chronyd with
      systemd-timesyncd not enabled.  To get chronyd to set the system
      time based on the last boot you need:<br>
      <br>
      In /etc/sysconfig/chronyd<br>
      OPTIONS="-s"<br>
      <br>
      and /etc/chrony.conf<br>
      #rtcsync<br>
      rtcdevice /dev/nonexist<br>
      <br>
      shortly after boot if no network connection, your system time is
      set to the last content in /var/lib/chrony/drift<br>
      <br>
      So please add chronyd to the minimal install and set it with these
      'defaults', or provide an easy way to configure for 'no rtc'.<br>

                          network to be available? <br>
                          <br>
                          I have seen a number of challenges becuase the
                          system time is back at <br>
                          the epoch start as there is no battery rtc. 
                          And  I wonder how many <br>
                          armv7 boards have a battery to maintain time
                          across boots? <br>
                          <br>
                          Minimally, a process could right the time, in
                          the proper format, to a <br>
                          file, say /etc/currenttime every 5 min and at
                          shutdown. <br>
                          <br>
                          Then date can be run early in the boot
                          process, piping this file in.  It <br>
                          would not be perfect and does not help, much
                          for new installs, but <br>
                          better than epoch start. <br>
                          <br>
                          Plus /etc/currenttime can be at least set to
                          the image build date/time <br>
                          so not even firstboot will be at epoch start.
