+ <title>Configuring the Clock</title>
+
+<para>
+
+The installer might ask you if the computer's clock is set to UTC. Normally
+this question is avoided if possible and the installer tries to work out
+whether the clock is set to UTC based on things like what other operating
+systems are installed.
+
+</para><para>
+
+In expert mode you will always be able to choose
+whether or not the clock is set to UTC.
+<phrase arch="m68k;powerpc">Macintosh hardware clocks are normally
+set to local time. If you want to dual-boot, select local time instead of
+GMT.</phrase>
+<phrase arch="i386">Systems that (also) run Dos or Windows are normally
+set to local time. If you want to dual-boot, select local time
+instead of GMT.</phrase>
+
+</para><para>
+
+Note that the installer does not currently allow you to actually set the
+time in the computer's clock. You can set the clock to the current time
+after you have installed, if it is incorrect or if it was previously not
+set to UTC.
