Several sources indicate you can't repair permissions on the boot
volume using the Disk Utility on the booted disk. Advice is to
use the install disk, etc. This is said to be particularly
important before downloading software updates. However, "the
advice" goes on to say that after downloading an update,
permissions should again be repaired, this time from the onboard
Disk Utility.
Is this correct and if so why the different source for Disk Utility?
Maybe its all the turkey fogging the thinking process.
It must be the turkey. I think you're thinking of the fact that one
can't run DFA ("Verify" or "Repair" a disk) on the boot volume. You
need to boot from the System CD or DVD to do that.
