Thanks!
It could be the dust; it is a dusty room and I puffed
it out and it didn't happen again, but there may be a
deeper problem with the machine...I got a "possible
hardware bug" message during the same 'tasksel'
operation that has changed the clock on the Windows
side.
At any rate the best solution is to do a base install
and then log in and run 'tasksel'. Running it during
the install can leave you with an improperly mounted
partition that won't boot, but errors running it after
that first mount will leave you in a much better
position to troubleshoot the problem.
