Not yet.  First, I had to reinstall linux.  Got potato up, but having 
xwoes etc etc.  Found fsck in /sbin; but my versions do not include 
fsck.msdos.  fsck reports that /mnt/hda1 has been corrupted....

Incidentally, how do you search debian cdrom for fsck.msdos.  Locate 
doesn't seem to work.  I find the debs, but they are all organized in 
packages (like communications, etc), and I don't know where to look.

THanks,
