You can do it with the filesystem mounted read-only. In your boot prompt
(lilo?) give a parameter '-b' (or better, 'boot=/bin/sh' - I don't know
what Mandrake does with '-b'), make sure the fs is mounted read-only
(I personally do it with ':>tt' and expect an error message) and
run whatever you want (defrag, debugfs, fsck, ...).
Much easier than finding a floppy with no bad blocks :-)
