Joseph,

I think the two examples above do the same thing, but I will
double-check it.  Try "ls -l ~/staging/sbin" and see what comes up for
each method.  Hopefully both ways of doing it will result in "mkfs.ext2
-> mke2fs" and "fsck.ext2 -> e2fsck" rather than including the home
directory path like "mkfs.ext2 -> ~/staging/sbin/mke2fs".  Or try "ls -l
/sbin" after booting from the diskset.
