hi,

the ntpdate package will allow time to be set at boot time /if you have 
 network access at this time/

the ntp-simple package provides the ntpd daemon, which will periodically 
 synchronize your computer clock with an internet server.
it is this daemon that you configure when you use time-admin, so the 
time is *not* set at this moment, only configuration options for ntpd 
(mainly the ntp server to use).
