From there you can view the list and save it if you want. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pere Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Or open terminal and write kextstat....... i don´t see the point of this. Maybe the goal is to make the people so stupid that they will not know even where is the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaksauce12 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Or open console and write kextstat....... i don´t see the point of this.Maybe the goal is to make the people so stupid that they will not know even where is the console? Why use Kext Helper? Or Uinstaller? Or any other app? Hint: the answer is "convenience" Not everyone wants to be a technical user who spends their evenings memorizing the man pages - most people here just want a working Hackintosh system to do other things with; this is a simple 1-click tool to help them do that.

lastowl Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 a good app would be one which tells you which kexts are modified so a better vanilla system can be created lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Why use Kext Helper? Or Uinstaller? Or any other app? Hint: the answer is "convenience" Not everyone wants to be a technical user who spends their evenings memorizing the man pages - most people here just want a working Hackintosh system to do other things with; this is a simple 1-click tool to help them do that. Memorizing man pages? If you used the command a couple of times (or when needed) then you'll automatically have it memorized (you know, like your multiplying tables). What you call a "convenience" is what keeps people from actually learning to use and understanding an operating system and eventually leads to things done "à la Microsoft". Using the terminal is fairly easy and the commands required for the basic tasks are very few, so there is no reason not to learn to use it, IMO.

As well, if it pleases the peanut gallery, I have included a wonderful map of OSx86 tools, because gui wrappers may be nice, but actually learning commands is better (greets to stroke).

AppleIIGuy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I believe you can also see what kexts are loaded in the system profiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Useful pic, thanks! I have to say, I'm all for convenience. I have a folder full of tiny little apps that I can launch based on whatever task I'm doing. If I wanted command-line, I'd still be using DOS I believe you can also see what kexts are loaded in the system profiler. Ideally I'd like the app idea that was mentioned earlier - show only modified & non-standard kexts. But then we'd need a full catalog of existing kexts and version numbers, so I'd imagine that'd be a bit of a project to go through and document them all, especially since each system would have a slightly different list of loaded kexts. But that'd sure be handy for dev work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, no worries, sometimes a peek under the hood can be fun Third, why not use cli? The apps don't really make it more convenient, so much as less of a pain in the neck insofar as a learning curve.

Was this really you? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1101246 Because...you're kind of being a huge jerk. It's a simple script. Get over yourself. So you don't find it useful. Maybe it's not useful. Maybe I shouldn't have posted it! At least I'm trying, dude. If you really feel the need to assert your elite programming skills and tell everyone how cool you are because you know how to use Terminal like a pro and can even tie your own shoes, maybe it's YOU who doesn't need OSx86. Why don't you become a real programmer and get a real Mac? I could use endless arguments like this against you if you want to play this game. I guess it's pretty easy to put people down when you're full of yourself...personally I like this community and the people here, and I'm learning and growing like everyone else, and I don't really appreciate your crappy attitude here. We have a lot of really great contributors and I'm trying to dip my toes in, but obviously you only think that InsanelyMac is for special people like yourself. So, kindly leave your attitude at the door - it's not welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
