[plug] problem booting

[David & Lisa Buddrige]

ok, the e2fsck has come up with the following message:


Entry 'etc' in / (2) has deleted/unused inode 98497.  Clear<y>?


I'm guessing I don't want to delete the /etc inode.  any suggestions on how
to fix this?  Does clearing it fix the problem or just permanently delete
it?

thanks heaps guys

David.
