whoops! =)

can someone tar -cfz /tmp/fsck.tar.gz /sbin/fsck and send it to me? :-)

i think what i did was that even though i used MacBSD Installer utility,  i
didn't delete the old /sbin/fsck that used to be on the system, so that
probably caused the problem. i can't get a new one unless i expand the
whole base again and get fsck from that. (yuck)

thanks,
