That looks correct, and consistent with what "repair permissions" would do. > lautrec:~ root# id > uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1(daemon), 2(kmem), 3(sys), > 31(guest), 4(tty), 5(operator), 80(admin), 20(staff) Would be interesting to know what 'id' shows when you are *not* logged in as superuser. The real issue here is that the user running the Installer needs to be able to write to the / directory. If all else fails, 1. sudo chmod 1777 / 2. Run the installer 3. sudo chmod 1775 / dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
