Differences??</title></head><body>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>With system upgrades I have followed this procedure:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. Download any updater to HD.</div>
<div>2. Repair permissions with Cocktail or Onyx.</div>
<div>3. Run DiskWarrior to check for any directory issues and repair
if necessary.</div>
<div>4. Boot from current OSX install DVD and repair permissions from
Disk Utility.</div>
<div>5. Do a FW backup with SuperDuper.</div>
<div> And finally... </div>
<div>6. Run system updater.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>To date, haven't been burned. Am I being paranoid?
