Hello. My clock is always wrong on boot because my RTC battery is dead.

However, that still does not excuse the fact that the installer should attempt
to synchronise the clock first before attempting to update repositories.

I can plop into a shell and do this, but when I re-run installer the installer
craps out on me saying that it can't modify wireless interface configuration
anymore.
