First of all, realize I am new to linux, but i'm learning.
Just got DSL because I have an old computer with only a 1GB hdd in it, and I wanted something small. The HDD is not quite right, and so while I eventually got DSL installed, whenever it runs fsck it comes back with a ton of errors and tells me to fix it then reboot. Unfortunatelly, I think the HDD is mostly beyond repair and running fsck manually results with tons of ignore or don't ignore prompts that would go on forever. On a whim I restarted with 'shutdown -f 0' so it wouldn't run the check, and this time DSL booted no problem.
I realize its probably not a good idea to run the system with so many hdd errors it won't boot, but for what I want it for (Going to put it in my room to play around with X10 home automation) it should be fine. My problem is I don't want to have to boot and then reboot with -f every time I turn the computer on. How can I tell it not to check it every time boots?
P.S. Incase it matters, I used a Debian install with a grub boot loader. I'm not sure but I think it was a ext2 file system ( the one it uses when you reply with a no on the 'Use journalized ext3 format' (or whatever it actually says =D )
