--- Comment #1 from Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> ---
It would be nice if we had a simple tool to set the clock based a web server's
reported time. There are some obvious risks there, but poking the package
server and popping up a prompt if it's way off and giving you the option to
sync seems straightforward.

The inability to reenter the installer is also quite annoying (I think I've
encountered it in at least one other way), but is probably a series of bugs.
