Comments/Problems:
Immediately after Clock/timezone setup, the hardware clock was changed.
See syslog of installation for details:
> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1
> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Using /dev interface to clock.

> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Last calibration done at 1228000000 seconds after 1969
> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Hardware clock is on local time
> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.

> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Clock drifted 3599.8 seconds in the past 7250939 seconds in spite of a drift factor of 0.000000 seconds/day.
> Feb 21 21:15:40 clock-setup: Adjusting drift factor by 42.915252 seconds/day
The problem is, that hardware clock was changed from 21:15:40 to 22:15:40.
The hardware clock is set to local time, because there is Windows 2000
installed parallel to Debian.
Here the corresponding part of the preseed file:
> # Einstellung der Zeitzone
> d-i time/zone string Europe/Berlin
>
> # Die Uhr während der Installation nicht stellen
> d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean false
If you need further informations, please let me know.

Bernhard
