jesse steffen Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 When I try to put the patched kernal onto the install disc it says I the install disc can not be modified. I'm sure it's real simple, but I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. Any help would be MUCH appreciated. If you couldn't tell, I'm not too strong in the terminal.

gt500 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 You wrote the disc allready ? Did you finish the disc ? Hmm ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse steffen Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 I opened the .ISO file and it's now a drive on my desktop. It's not burned yet. I can't seem to change the permissions in the finder which is getting me quite angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-.- Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I hope I'm not giving bad advice but I think this is how you do it: #1. In the terminal type sudo -s then press enter. It will ask you for your password, type in your password and press enter. #2. Open up three finders using the "open new finder window" on one of the finders navigate to your desktop, make a new folder, and name something like original_files or old_files... or whatever you want to name it. #3. In another finder, navigate to the new file you want to put in to replace another file. #4. In another finder, navigate to the file you want to replace. #5. In the terminal, type cp (which is the copy command), then give it a space with spacebar, then drag the old file that you want to replace from the finder (#4) into the terminal window and it will type out the path to that file, give it another space with the space bar. then drag the new folder you made from your desktop (or from the finder you used to make it) into the terminal and it will type the path to it. (now you have copy command+space+what to copy+space+where to put that copy) press enter. check your new folder to see if it is in there. #6 Type rm (which is the remove/delete command), give it a space, then drag that same you file you did before from the finder (#4) that has it's original location, into the terminal, press enter it's gone now... but you have a backup copy in your new folder. #7. Now do the cp command again to place a copy of the new file into the old files location. (copy command+space+what to copy+space+where to put that copy) #8. Look around in one of these threads or the wiki it will tell you how to clear your cache, i have it written down but not here where I am right now. ( i really don't even know if you do that after replacing a kernel, but you do after changing kexts.) #9 Now use disk utility to repair permissions. Anyone who is skilled at the terminal, feel free to correct if I have any mistakes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is skilled at the terminal, feel free to correct if I have any mistakes in there. More simple way of doing it is this 1) make a read/write dmg of it 2) load termnial 3) sudo -s 4) enter password 5) cd /blah/ (being where your read write dmg us) 6) hdiutil attach -readwrite blah.dmg -owners on now you can close termnial and use the gui to replace what ever you like Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
