[G4] Catalog B-tree damaged ?

Ok, I know I am getting myself in trouble again but here goes. From what I
have learned lately from the G4 board and Apple there is kind of a misnomer
going on. That is that fsck is NOT the equivalent of Disk Utility. That to
actually run Disk Utility it should be booted from a install cd and run from
their. From what I understand fsck is just a Unix file utility to help with
pre-bindings and such.
