CODE
sudo chown 0:0 /Volumes/"your target OS X HDD volume name"

This is to make certain that the permissions are not scrambled after the installation of OS X.....and hence that you are able to boot from the OS X 10.6 hard drive........ is that not needed?
actually ive never had to do that using the retail dvd installer method as mentioned on the guide... even for installing on usb drives...

ive only had to do that after using the "osintall.mpgk" method from within Leo 10.5 cos the "osinstall.mpgk" doesnt take care of setting the correct permissions....

but the retail dvd installer does take care of the permissions... so ive never had any permission related problems after installing from the retail dvd installer... hence, the chosen method of installing as mentioned on the guide...

thanks for ur input... appreciate it...
