YES OR NO: Can I repair permissions on an iMac running 10.4 with my 10.5 disks?

You don't need the install disk to repair permissions, it's done in Disk Utility.

Path=Finder-Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility.
 
I think disk repair is out of the question as well, as it checks file directories and such against what the Leopard directory should look like, not a Tiger one.
 
A bit late on the response, but in case future readers read this, I don't want them to have bad info.


Permissions Repair, sure. But I wouldn't do it, no. It uses BOMs for Leopard, which may or may not differ from that of Tiger. Who knows what odd behavior the Mac might exhibit after that?

Disk Repair, sure. It's not much more than a GUI'd fsck front end. No harm there.
