I can confirm this, it is, in my opinion, a pretty nasty user experience
actually!

My user experience:
1. Switch new PC to linux (note, the system clock was set to local (Amsterdam) 
time, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT)
2. Drop my shiny new daily build Karmic Netbook Remix cd in the drive, 
installing it (looks & went perfect, my compliments!)
3. Reboot system
4. Upon reboot stuck in the 'dos' screen with some 'vague' notion something 
went wrong (ofcourse I know wat it is, but your average joe will by this time 
switch off his PC, pull the ubuntu cd from the drive and ritually sacrifice it 
to the gods of the many windows)
5. Run fsck
6. reboot again
7. to my disbelief the message 'superblok time in future' appears again! so 
fixed that
8. reboot again
9. boot as it should have at point 4.

Could there be a way to have mountall perhaps automatically attempt to
run fsck, specifically just to fix the superblock time issue after
install? Or have the installer reset the hardware time BEFORE messing
with the FS?
