Subject: Faulty RTC clock causes problems during install

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.17
My computer (i386) has one of those bad RTC clocks that doesn't
work with years after 1999. (Y2K-non-compliant you could say).
So the Debian installation (potato, 2.2r0, from CD) gets the wrong
time. When installing packages, this causes many warnings from tar
about files in the future (which seem harmless), plus certain
packages seem to fail to configure themselves properly (sorry, no
details, I just noticed quite a few error messages go past).
Suggested fix: test the year for being < 2000, and take some action,
like popping up a dialog saying "your RTC clock seems to be
faulty...", and eventually adding the `--badyear' option to the
hwclock program in the boot scripts.
Cheers,
__

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
