Actually, the reason why you should run it when booted normally from your OS X system disk and use the version in /Applications/Utilities is that it uses Receipts of installed packages that are in /Library/Receipts. You'll see a bunch of files of type Installer packages. They are not actually the real installer package but some kind of stub with information about what was installed and what should be the permissions... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] careware /keir'weir/ n.: A variety of shareware for which either the author suggests that some payment be made to a nominated charity or a levy directed to charity is included on top of the distribution charge.
