Fix permissions goes through a list of default permissions for everything in the standard disk and changes them back to what they are supposed to be. Adobe is good at making RW changes to system folders/files. I always run fix permissions after installing Adobe software. It also is one of the first things I do when I'm having system-related problems. It doesn't always fix the problem, but it puts it into a known state, helping troubleshooting.

No, but I bet sticking in the DVD and running Disk check and permission

repair IS in the "magic" binder? Is it a leap to assume fix perms solves a

root perms problem?

chmod isn't in the little 3 ring binder they have.

Well, it seems that chmod 775 / to the root file system did the
trick. I am now back in my system and have updated the box. Would
it have been so hard for support to have given me just this small
bit of help?
