Coming to you from a nearby USB stick...........

Well I'll be............Booted er up and fiddled around on and off with a USB "live" and doing a bit of searching, and tried some "clean up utilities" but it kept up with some (of course terse) nonsense about "doing a manual fsck" and this is from the "DOS like" boot up process. That command seemed to be missing and I didn't know where to go from there

Finally searched while booted, and found a procedure. Thing rattled and banged and did a bunch of nonsense and

WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR!!! (For how long??)

Ran this

How to Use 'fsck' to Repair File System Errors in Linux

from a terminal while booted to the USB stick.

This by the way is something you cannot do in whendozed.........run an OS while fixing and troubleshooting the lamer one.
