Comments/Problems:
The file modification times were fine during the install, however
after rebooting, most of the system had modification times 10 hours in
the future.
The system clock is set to local time (checked in bios).
I chose the correct timezone in the installer and UTC was set to NO.
I have had this problem with installs from the di-beta3 cd and weekly
build (20061009).
The output of date was correct after reboot eg:
ls -l /
...
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2006-11-09 01:38 usr
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2006-11-09 01:45 var
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2006-11-09 01:36 vmlinuz ->

This is a bit of a problem.
In the case of weekly(20061009) it prevents fc-cache -f from
running properly until 10 hours after the install (which prevents
ttf-opensymbol from installing, which prevents openoffice from
installing).
I assume the 10 hours is due to me being at GMT+10.
