how do i change the privaledges in osX? I am trying to add some screensavers to my system but it says it can not be modified. Also, why are there two library folders. One outside the system folder and one inside?

thanks for your help.

p.s. privaledges says

owner: system
group: wheel
 
Put the screen saver in the ScreenSaver folder that is inside the Library folder that is inside your home folder.
 
Remember that OS X is a port of Unix - a server/mainframe OS basically. The "System" Library will apply to all users who log in while the User's library will apply to that user only.
To change privileges use something like XFiles, or in terminal use chmod or chown (type "man chmod" for explanation; use return key to scroll down)
