I suggest you shouldn't do this. The utility to fix permissions
reads the permissions from a database maintained by the installers
of the various components. As your system is upgraded, the upgrade
installers sometimes update permissions to be different from those
on the install DVD. When you repair permissions off the install
DVD, the permissions are set back to the pre-update status. If the
updaters had fixed permission problems from the original install,
running from the DVD unfixes the fix.
