If I read /var/log/installer/syslog correctly, it took 2458 s: that is the time interval between the following two log lines Jan 3 18:57:02 partman: mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) Jan 3 19:38:00 partman-crypto: kernel entropy_avail: 3613 bits > Nice to see that it works with only 64MB memory in the > box.

I mean: the Debian Installer asked me to select a country and I chose Italy. Hence the timezone was correctly set to Rome/Paris (that, in winter, makes CET, or +0100, if you prefer). So far so good. But nothing asked me whether the hardware clock was in local time or UTC! It was silently assumed to be UTC, which, BTW, was I what I wanted it to be, but forgot to set accordingly in the BIOS configuration menu. The result was that the box had the hardware clock correctly set to local time (because I forgot to set it to UTC), but the installed system assumed it to be set to UTC and displayed times with a +1 hour error. I fixed the problem by setting the hardware clock to UTC in the BIOS configuration menu, as I wanted. But I think that the Debian Installer should ask the user whether the hardware clock is set to local time or UTC, especially since machines that previously had (or still have) a Windows installation typically work with the hardware clock set to local time. -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/releas-o-meter.html Try our amazing Releas-o-meter! .....................................................
