let it run for a couple hours and then see how far off your clock is

Sounds fine to me


Not that it affects the LiveCD much, but while we're on the topic of OpenNTPD, 
does anyone know where the ntpd.drift file should live? The man page says it 
should be located at /var/db/ntpd.drift but I don't have a /var/db/ or 
ntpd.drift anywhere on my system... /etc/ntpd/ntpd.drift was suggested 
somewhere as an alternative.
