I remember setting "HW clock is same as running time" when installing
Linux
OSes, but don't know where to set this in this Debian Sarge machine
manually

hwclock --systohc

man hwclock

I've tried this and also hwclock --utc or hwclock --localtime , but after
powering off, it goes two hours back....

Any futher hint or advice ?

Two things to try:

Use tzconfig to check that your timezone is correct and change it if
necessary. You may also want to use tzselect to view the list of
possible timezones.

Edit /etc/default/rcS to include either UTC=yes or UTC=no. UTC=no is
useful if you're dual-booting with MS Windows.
