Surely this will be a not the best way to go, and definitely not the
way as shown on any of Randy Singer's OSX maintenance pages,
but it's not at all clear if the second repair move above will or
won't re-correct for the state of the now currently installed items
(which are all unknown to the booted from OSX install disk's DU
parametres) once rebooted to HD and running DU from there on
itself, as is hoped. Any ideas on this??

Am still hoping for a point to for the above, there's just got to 
be one out there somewhere, right?

Ok, now I've got it, and so am guessing that the current build#
of 877 is the updated version of 9.0.1, could someone Please
confirm this??

I've since, rethought on M$ stuff being used and have decided
that it might be best to continue as I have in the past and do
without, and so have happily trashed the IE .app, as I picked
up on the free giveaway of Opera's S/N gift and installed it
to find that if needed it will cloak itself as IEv6(iirc) , but 
now I would very much like to remove all/any bits and pieces
of IE leftover other than just the .app itself, so where would 
I look for them and/or what terms specifically should I search
in Find(Sherlock?) for on my HD??

Looks like the next move I'll need to take, just hopin' for a
lil' more insight on the question posed above first.

I've got it DL'd and ready to go, if'n the above won't work. Now,
does anyone have any idea how the X.3.9 Combo Update will
treat the fact that Delocalizer has already been run?, and if I'll 
need to re-run it again after the update is completed and a DU
permission repair is done?

Any/All advice, suggestions, ideas are very welcomed and will
be very much appreciated. TIA
