which disk do you use?
i have a powerbook 64 software install and restore disk, but that just makes me reboot, and reinstall os x
the reason i want to repair permission is because my osx is taking a long time to load up
thanks!

In a menu in the installer, you'll see Open Disk Utility. From there you can repair permissions.

you don't need to boot from a disk,
just open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and repair from there.

This may potentially be a disk repair problem - OS X will run a disk checking procedure (fsck -y) on system startup if you didn't shutdown correctly. When you shutdown your system how do yo do it?
To see if it is unable to repair any problems, insert your Software Install CD and boot from it (hold down C at start up). Under the "Installer" menu when it eventually appears, you will find an item saying Open Disk Utility - do so. Once Disk Utility has launched, highlight your Hard Drives and under the First Aid tab run the Repair Disk procedure and let it finish. If it reports any problems re-run the procedure again and again until no problems are reported at all. If this doesn't happen (that is First Aid can't repair the problem(s)), then you have a more serious issue that you will need to buy something like Disk Warrior or Disk Doctor for.

My G3 iMac takes around 1:20 to boot up. Doesn't sound like your machine is taking terribly long.
