JustinAiken Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So I did my first working osx86 install around a year ago... first one was Leo4all V3... now I'm on iDeneb 10.5.6... These are all working very well! I've learned alot about Mac OS - I know terminal commands to repair permissions, I can create EFI strings, I multiboot, I feel pretty smart! But there's so many things I've been using that I have no idea what the hell they are/do... so here's some dumb questions... * What's a kernel? What's the difference between voodoo and the others? * What exactly do EFI and Chamelon do? What is EFI? And what's an "EFI" partition? * What is a kext? I've installed tons, deleted tons... don't know what they are in general. * What's "boot-132"... I see lots of threads about it, but no simple introductions Maybe this could be the "thread for asking things you should know by now but don't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
