Hello everyone

[Forgive the repeated query.  The followup from Mr. Horrocks got
 got answers, but nothing yetr for this pathetic newbie.]

I had repeated SCSI trouble during my current install, debug reboots,
etc., and then found 60+ lost+found entries after fsck(s) (where I
gave a "yes" to everything, fixing, adjusting, reconnecting, ...).

System is nice and fast (way better than previous version and hugely
more perky than Debian) but I would like to fix the following ...

# ls -ilF /lost+found
total 124

Installer problems looked like the following ...
   Friday, 26 May 2K     ERROR:
   mode = 0100444, inum = 111364, fs = /
   ialloc: dup alloc

And then after installing man, text and games,
the installer died about 90% of the way thru misc with:
   mode = 0100444, inum = 11523, fs = /
   ialloc: dup alloc

Some dirs are "empty" and some have further directories inside.
The installer's "ls" also shows 6 identical blanks at the end (below).

Searching for inode 99842 once led to /var/cron/tabs/root and
# ls -l /var/cron/tabs
ls: root: Bad file descriptor 
# ls -l /var/cron
total 2

Some files are gone now due to  "rm -rf /lost+found/*" (thereby,
surely, losing my chances for file fixes) but others appear to be
be unremovable/disjoint/whatever without the right treatment.

# "clri /dev/sd1a 99842"    ==> clri: /dev/sd1a: device is busy.
And I'm way too much of novice to use "fsdb" without more info.

Does anyone have a pointer, reference or tutorial to suggest.
No material I can find has clued me in yet.
Probably there's some simple thing I'm supposed to do ...
Of course, I could just install all over again, but I thought 
I would try to learn something here.

Thanks for your assistance,
