I finally got OS X 10.1.5 installed today. Figured out that the problem was I needed a reformat of my hard drive. Anyway, things were chugging right along just fine, and I went to install a couple of drivers. I got the drivers installed fine, but when I went to delete these two files (a .pkg and a folder with nothing in it), I get "Permission Denied". OK, UNIX gremlins... so, I check permissions in a terminal window, things looked OK, but just to make sure I set all permissions on these files to everyone can do everything. No dice. OK, do a scan in Disk First Aid and Drive Setup. All is well, apparently. Ran fsck. Again, no problems... but I still can't delete these files! I tried deleting them via the terminal window, same thing. I ran Apple's permission repair utility a few times, and still can't delete them. Anyone have any ideas here? Anyone seen something like this?

My system, in case it matters:

PowerMac 7300 w/ original 200 MHz 604e
288 MB RAM
2 GB hard drive, partitioned 600 MB for OS 9.1, 1.4 GB for OS X, both are HFS+, using XPF (latest version) to boot X
drives are on internal SCSI bus
Realtek 8139D NIC in C1


No funky hardware here. Really, no funky software, either. Apart from the two drivers I installed (1 for the Realtek NIC, the other was the Darwin floppy driver), I just did Apple software updates, and updated Stuffit to 7.0.3. That's it. BTW, the files I need to delete are on the root of the X partition.

Help with this will be much appreciated, as I don't want to look at these things for the next year...

Michael
