[CUBE] This newbie to the list wants to pick your brains

[mike]

here's the list of what I do --

boot off of the install cd, there's an option in there somewhere to 
'fix permissions' -- under 'repair' or 'disk utility'?

run the following command in the terminal (lose the '#' if you cut & 
paste):
# sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
this updates all dynamic library bindings for all prebound applications.

I also disable nfsiod and rendezvous, but that's me (in 
/System/Library/StartupItems/), and most of my Mac experience comes 
from, umm, using unix.  If you don't know how to do this, I'm the wrong 
person to ask.  :-)
