Feh. Reboot into single-user mode ('linux single' at the LILO prompt), and
fsck all the hard drives you want.

On bootup, fsck is run with some options (I can't remember which, sorry)
that make it more paranoid, and to only fix slight errors. When you run it
without any options, it runs a 5-pass through check over the filesystem.

There, top of the class. :-)

<Overfiend> xhost +localhost should only be done by people who would
            paint their hostname and root password on an interstate
            overpass.
