Well, clock-setup checks netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers, which contains NTP servers mentioned in DHCP replies, so I'd expect such gateways to announced the NTP servers properly. > - The installed system should have its ntp server configured to the > servers that the installer was able to correctly talk to. I don't think we necessarily install an ntp client; and since ntp configuration is client-dependent, this part looks hard to achieve. Mraw, KiBi.
