[TriLUG] Set date and time

[Robert A. Henderson]

Ok, this is stupid but it's driving me crazy. I need to change the date
and time on a Mandrake 8.0 box. I know it's "date -s blah" but I'm having
trouble with the "blah" part. 

Yes, I did a man and it ain't helping. I've done this before but lately
I've fallen victim to the GUI mush brain syndrome and now I can't get the
command line to work worth a flip. 

What's the format?
