Hi,
before I changed over to linux, I was MS-DOS and had two
hardrives installed. They both worked fine. When I changed i didn't
install the second hard drive and now I need to. How can I. I tryed to
find some docs but couldn't. Also after I do, how to get to that hard disk?
Thanks

Just to thank you all and to tell you were right :
my keyboard was not well configured. My AltGr key on
my french keyboard doesn't work. Therefore, this is a
bug of the Debian distribution ;-). Does someone know
how to fix this bug ?

There seems to be a bug in the ac command that comes with the acct package.
Either that or it seems to work in an unusual way... either way help would
be appreciated :)
We do solely time bases accounting and up until now we were using a version
of ac from sunsite (I think it was a long time ago).
