In my defense ... Hopefully if this networks into an endless
discussion, the List Nanny will terminate it ... with my Ownership
and Permissions.
My partitioning scheme simplifies bookkeeping and CCC 3.1.3 Backup on
my Yikes! Tiger machine.
On my QS 2002, Time Machine functions just fine under the Leopard
10.5.4 environment, and CCC 3.1.3 produces a fine bootable copy of my
Leopard 10.5.4 partition, sans APPS and DOCS.
When I upgrade or need to reInstall the OS X, it simplifies that ...
at least in my mind. I recently had to go back to 10.5.4 from 10.5.6.
What a mess if I had to ask it to Archive and Install, then Migrate
to retain all my Applications and Documents. Would wear my ATA drives
out ... IMO.
Still makes sense to me to partition this way ... reasonably large
number of applications and documents. The music apps themselves have
a large number of files and things to make them work too. And some
are OS X version sensitive ... what worked under 10.5.4 seems to balk
at 10.5.6.
My original question was "do I need to change Ownership and
Permissions on my partition files that I brought over from Panther,
that had user name "firstlast", and now maybe should be called
username "moonstoneartstudio" ... on the partitions APPS and DOCS
files". Really nothing else.
Things seem to be working fine as is ... so I'm leaving them alone
for now.
Maybe not a unique question, or unique partition names, but a
somewhat unique environment ...
That's all folks.
