Before installing Gentoo, it is a good idea to be sure the date and time are set correctly. A misconfigured clock may lead to strange issues with the installation: base system files should be extracted with accurate time stamps. In fact, due to Gentoo's web based services using security certificates, it might not be possible to download the installation files if the system clock is too far skewed. An accurate clock is a requirement for proceeding with the installation.
