Over the last few days there has been several people comming into
#lfs-support on IRC with the problem of binutils looping on make. The
cause of this is when the system clock is set to a date in the past from
when the binutils package was made. I think some kind of not somewhere
on boot, or maybe an initscript to setup the clock might help.
I'm not subscribed to the livecd list.
The LiveCD does come with the standard setclock script, dialog-based
boot script that creates /etc/sysconfig/clock, and timezone configurator
that also runs at boot. So any clock inaccuracy stems from incorrect
date in BIOS.
OTOH, adding the ntp or openntpd package (but not a bootscript) might be
a good idea. Justin, Jeremy: what do you think?
