I'm not sure if this is normal and it's not that big of deal, just takes some getting used to. Is there a way to get the original way back? I was just curious. Secondly, my question is with regards to the time setting. When you say this:

"Setting the clock to the right time zone: Kilian has the answer! After running the chroot, get a (non-Debian) root prompt and enter the following:"

Code:
cp -a /etc/localtime /debian/etc/localtime

Is this in the Debian root X-term? If so, how do you get a non-debian root after running debian chroot? Sorry for the silly question, I'm learning everyday about this stuff and am totally captivated! Thanks for the help and the incredible application/alternative OS.

No this is not in debian root x-term. Forget debian for this. You need to run normal xterm (from Utilities) and there you need a way to become root. There is a package called 'becomeroot' that lets you do 'sudo gainroot' and then you become root on maemo's xterm. There are other ways too and this is just one of the ways.
