Disk Utility claimed to have fixed the errors. Rebooting showed the /bin file list the same as I posted. I deleted the corrupted files and replaced them (using the commands on the DVD).
Checking the disk with Disk Utility still reported the hard link problems.
I've booted in Safe Mode (am here now) and tried fsck with no luck. Here's the error I'm getting:
$ fsck /dev/disk0s3
** /dev/rdisk0s3
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS? [yn] y
SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK FAILED. YOU MUST USE THE
-b OPTION TO FSCK TO SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF AN ALTERNATE
SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION; SEE fsck(8).
Any suggestions? The next web page I open will probably be the local computer shop to check current notebook drive prices. If I have to install a new drive I'm definitely doing a clean Leopard install and will set everything up again manually, copying my data files and applications back manually as well. Joy.
