Re: [newbie] how to run fsck manually

[s3x]

hey i run nearly the same specs as you but using 5.3ver. so far a minor internet problem but that's it. i run system commander to boot other OS's even. so advice from someone just as a beginner as yourself: switch to 5.3. you'll learn more faster, just in time for all the bugs to be worked out of the new ver6. that's my word.

Subject: [newbie] how to run fsck manually

After getting Linux-Mandrake 6.0 installed and running, I tried to logout and it stalled.  When I rebooted the computer, It ran fsck and came up with a bunch of error messages that I can't remember.  At the end it told me I should run 'fsck manually'.  Can someone teach me how to run this? or point me to a very NON-technical website for a complete newbie? 

 

And, while I was in KDE of mandrake  6.0, it ran VERY slow, It kept accessing my hard drive.  I have a 3Gig partition for Linux, and a 200MB partition for my swap file.  I'm running a 300a @ 450, have a TNT card, and 128MB ram. 

 

So far Linux has been far more complicated than I thought it would be, BUT i've read so many great things about it and want to give it a good try before I give up. 

 

Thanks!
