I was unaware of permissions maintenance in OSX until I heard it should be done with Disk Utility. I tried running DU's Repair Permissions from my boot drive and it always crashed half-way through. Then I read that you had to run it from another system or the Installer CD. So I booted from the Jaguar CD, found Disk Utility in the pull down menu, selected my OS 10.2.1 partition, and ran Repair Permissions. It took a long time and found a lot of permissions to correct. Nice to know. Maybe bad permissions were the cause of an application crashing once or twice a month in the past year. Allan Atherton
