It's a good start;-)

But the debian way is a bit different;-(
Version 1:
apt-get update ; apt-get install ntp
(This will install the Debian ntp Demon, starting at boottime)
Version 2:
read /etc/init.d/README carefully and make your own boot script(s).....
cave: Knoppix default boot level is not 2, i think it's 5
Version 3:
Add a line to /etc/crontab:
@reboot root ntpdate -s -u ntp0.InsertNameOfOrgHere.edu
V1 is the simplest and the official way,
V2 is much more difficult, but I think you want to lern something, and it's
really powerful if you now how to use the init script system of Debian,
V3 is not well documented... But sometimes helpful..... And I don't know if
if works with ntp...
