Hello Everyone,
Well, I went to my local Apple store and picked up my copy of Tiger and rushed back home to prep my Dualy G5x2ghz for the upgrade.
I have always repaired permissions both before and after any software install and especially before system updates, always with great success (i.e. no problems whatsoever)
However, today, for whatever reason, I thought I would repair the permissions a second time, right after doing it the first time, just to make sure that everything was fixed before moving forward with my upgrade (I plan on doing a straight upgrade) and I got the message below, indicating that the permissions were not quite fully fixed.

Repairing permissions for G5

The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
Permissions repair complete

Thinking that a third time would do the trick, I repaired them again immediately after reading that message, but the exact same message showed up after the repairing process finishes, and keeps showing up even after 6 or 7 attempts. ?
Any idea why my permissions are never quite repaired? Is this an indication that I have some serious issues on my drive? Any suggestions?
Cheers.
