However, fsck -p did tell me that there's an inconsistency on / ... which may have been the result of my having to do a reset after f****** KDE froze (and I didn't have sshd running to kill it from outside). A good reason for me to put fsck in the init sequence. (And the very reason why I started exploring other window managers in the first place.) Is it possible to fsck from the "live" CD? It looks like some files are missing from the Fixit mode.
