Re: OS 10.3.5

[Jonathan Newman]

It's not a dumb question. The answer is, that you need to be careful 
when installing a major update to your OS. If everything isn't perfect, 
then there is a possibility that something will go wrong. You want to 
repair your disk, to ensure that the drive has no problems whatsoever, 
and you want to repair permissions to ensure that all the factors of 
your OS are where the installation could potentially be expecting them. 
It's very likely that one would not need to take such precautionary 
actions. But I grew up in the Boy Scouts, actually got an Eagle, I was 
thought to "Be Prepared". So, it's the safe route for me. Better safe, 
then sorry.

not just install the update and restart?

Be
sure to boot off your Panther CD first, and repair the Boot Disk,

by repairing disk permissions. DO THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE UPDATE!
After you install the update, be sure to boot off the CD one more 
time, and run
disk permissions once again.
