You can do a Repair Permissions on any disk, or a Repair Disk on any disk which is not your startup disk. If you need to do a Repair Disk, you will need to do it from your CD and I think the 10.5 disk will be fine for the lower level stuff. It's worth trying the Repair Permissions first from Snow Leopard though. That solves a lot of issues. | |
