[iBook] Is this a crash?

[Gregory Martinez]

I think it is the same in Jaguar as in Panther (I don't recall). Launch 
Disk Utility, select your main hard drive, and select repair 
permissions.

Repair permissions fairly often, particularly when you install stuff. 
When doing a system update, repair permissions before and after 
installing.
