Basic command line input

[John Purser]

First, congratulations on your goal.

Second, fsck IS NOT the command to learn on.  Try "ls" instead.  It's
like "dir" under dos with about a million flags.  You can probably see
these flags by typing "man ls" without the quotes.

Third, what your box is trying to tell you is that it can't find the
command fsck.  It searched your whole path, nuthin.  To see the path
it searched you can type in "echo $PATH".  Don't include the quotes,
do include the capital letters.  Linux is case sensitive.  I think
you'll find you have fsck in the /sbin directory which is not in your
path because it contains commands that every joe user shouldn't be
running.

Good luck on this.  Take it slow, check out some "how-to"s and maybe
take a look at www.tldp.org
