Hmmm, that would, you better get an NTP server (xntpd or chrony) installed so 
you can have the time set from network, on boot.

That one was mentioned in links I posted while back on 2.6.  I followed advice 
to add luser's to the tty group as well.

You'll find you may need to upgrade to ~x86 versions of some packages, 
reiserfsprogs and chrony are ones I remember that need the 'unstable' 
versions.
