[G4] Regular Disk & OS Maintenance

[Snow White]

Anne:

Try a program called Applejack.
You can get it from versiontracker.com and it's free.  It lets you boot 
into safe mode and run from terminal.  All the operations are explained 
and it reboots your computer once it is done.  It will take can of 
permissions and disk repairs the same way as the Apple Disk Utility, 
but will work on all Hard disks present, unlike Apples disk utility.  
It will also erase swap files temp files.

Download it and read all its capabilities - its documentation is not 
bad.  It is a great little program and many people use it very 
succesfully.
