Repairing permissions looks at the package receipts on the boot drive that is to be repaired, so I don't think it would be affected by booting from a different OS version. You could run into problems if you try to service a 10.8 installation on a Fusion drive using a 10.7 recovery partition, but I think Apple handles this like they did the HFS+ transition with some sort of "Where have all my files gone?" alert. So, there probably are some issues you could run into, but you could always avoid everything by manually partitioning and installing your own 10.7 and 10.8 recovery partitions next to the main 10.7 and 10.8 installs. I'm pretty sure I've seen tutorials on how to do that. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
