clock time

[Ronny Nilsson]

Hi
This i likely due to the automatic time zone feature in Nard. At bootup the 
system tries to guess where you are in the world by looking at your public 
Internet address. If it find something it downloads data corresponding to 
that time zone and switches into it. The reason for downloading the time zone 
instead of embedding it in the SD card image is due to storage size and boot 
speed. All of the world zone data is quite large.
