THANK YOU TREVOR!!!!!!!!!!! that worked! I don't have to re-install!!!!
I have 9 Linux books and 2 Unix books and none of them mention "fsck /". That prompted me right to fixing the superblock and solved the problem. So, just so I know what I did, what does the "/" do? Thanks Trevor... Many Thanks to all that helped (not that I haven't gone thru re-installs before, just had several files I wanted to keep ;} ), At 5/2/02 09:02 PM, you wrote: >Steve, > >try this command and write back to me and let me know if it worked for you: > >"fsck /" (without the quotation marks). > >Answer yes to all the questions.
