Anne, Kaj ... ... typed XFdrake in root directory, got
"program not found" ... Kaj, I don't have a GUI yet, that's my main problem .. rebooted, when I got to sign-in, typed "mcc" then my root password, got "type root pasword for maintenace" ... one other thing, the other day I got locked up, had to bale out without logoff or exit ... since then, during boot-up, have gotten this (dev/hda5 is my root directory): dev/hda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced dev/hda5 unattached inode 108633 dev/hda5 unexpected inconsistancy, run fsck manually give root password for maintenance... ... maybe need to start over, re-install Mandrake ???
