Jaguar 10.2.8: After Repairing Permissions from Disk Utility on the OSX boot volume I find that upon Verifying Permissions just to double check that the permissions were not fully repaired... then after repairing again then booting from the 10.2 install CD, Disk Utility tells me again that permissions need changin' . What's up with that??
repaired permissions apparently aren't repaired??

Which permissions, exactly, is the report saying have changed? Under Jaguar and Panther, Disk Utility will report that certain permissions have been changed ALL THE TIME, and that it's safe to ignore these lines in the report.
Also, you should not repair permissions by booting from the Install CD. Only repair permissions booted from the actual drive you intend to repair. OS X gets the permissions information from the boot drive, and if you boot up and use a drive other than your boot drive to repair permissions on your boot drive, you can wind up with vast amounts of incorrect permissions.
