[plug] problem booting...

[David & Lisa Buddrige]

Hi all,

I have been having a problem with my /etc directory, in that I am unable to
cd to it - I had to boot using linux init=/bin/bash to get into the machine
at all.  I have done an e2fsck on the hard drive, and 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.
