[Ti] Disk Permission Repair Differences??

[Rod Duncan]

Ever since following the advice in the original "Take Contol" upgrade 
series, first from Jaguar to Panther and now to Tiger, I have 
followed the author's suggestion to additionally repair disk 
permissions from the current  OSX install DVD.

Even though I always continue to run a disk permission repair first 
from either Cocktail or Onyx, the Disk Utility off the current, 
install OSX DVD always seems to find additional permissions to 
repair. As a result, I take the time to run permission repairs from 
there, too.

Anyone, why does the boot from the install DVD & Disk Utility find 
these additional permissions to repair? And shouldn't that be the 
preferred method of permission repair since it continues to find 
additional permissions?

With system upgrades I have followed this procedure:

1. Download any updater to HD.
2. Repair permissions with Cocktail or Onyx.
3. Run DiskWarrior to check for any directory issues and repair if necessary.
4. Boot from current OSX install DVD and repair permissions from Disk Utility.
5. Do a FW backup with SuperDuper.
     And finally...
6. Run system updater.

To date, haven't been burned. Am I being paranoid? <grin>
