[muglo] Re: Shutdown

The advantage to booting from the install disk is that the Disk
Utility can fix low-level errors that would otherwise not be possible.

Errant file permissions are minor problems, easily fixed by running
Disk Utility _again_ once the computer has been booted using the HD
OS.

Come to think of it... Tim, have you done that? i.e. booted with the
installer disk and then repaired the disk? Then, once you boot into
your HD's OS X again, run the repair application again.
