  set the permissions on the theme dir

  set the permissions on the themes dir to be writable while importing a theme, then remove writable after the theme is imported.
  
  chmod -R a+rw themes/
  then
  chmod a-w themes/

  thanks

  Hi Greg,
  
  Perhaps this should be included in the installation documentation. The only file permission requirements listed in the Admin docs is for the content directory. I can add this as a note to the docs. You guys can determine if it is worthy of retaining.
  
  Thanks Again
