The fsck file is not present in the /sbin directory. I suspect that more files are also missing, because the startup script did not find /sbin/clock either. I could install all over again, but is there some other way? Perhaps getting the missing file(s) directly from the CD (or from the net) ? per -----Original Message----- From: Stephen F.

Go into root maintenance mode and type cd /sbin ls fs* There should be a file there called "fsck". If there is not, that is your problem. If there is, there is a problem with the script. If you don't find fsck, then I suspect you've made a mistake during your install. Did it complete without errors? Are you sure? If fsck is present, try running it: fsck / If this works, then you definitely have a script issue. This could mean that the $PATH variable is bad, or that the script calls the wrong path. If fsck is missing, look at installing Mandrake again. This is a pretty catastrophic problem, from what I can tell -- it tells me that the install didn't complete properly.
