Stormix comes with 'ntpdate' installed. This sets the local time
from a network time server. You can see the startup message of ntpdate
when the computer boots up: "Running ntpdate to synchronize clock".
What you need to do is edit /etc/init.d/ntpdate and put in a ntp
server/s so the time can be updated at boot up. Do a man ntpdate.
If your /etc/apt/sources.list is correctly pointing to a Debian
mirror then try apt-get update and apt-get -fus install packagename to see
a simulated action before you try it for real. Or you can run 'stormpkg'
which is the gui front end to apt-get.
