I have recently paid my first visit to my "lost+found" directory.  The
contents were an eye-opener.

It turned out that the directory currently contains 83 files that occupy
3.22 Mb.

The files that are readable appear to be downloaded web-pages.  However
many entries have 0 size and the following descriptions:

>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-06-09 18:10 76809616
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-06-09 18:07 76809602
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-06-09 18:06 75662599
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-06-09 18:06 75547033
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-06-09 18:06 75500994
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-03-18 08:21 76743295
>srw------- 1 felixk root         0 2008-03-18 08:03 75584621

My attempts to find out the meaning of "s" (sticky?) failed miserably. 

My (very out-of-date) Linux text book said - see "man ls"; "man ls"
said see "info ls".  And "info ls" is not included in the Debian Etch
default install.

All advice will be gratefully received.
