Jief_Machak Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don't think USBInjectAll will solve my smbios problem.

Pretty sure that will fix the USB problem. And I have to fix that smbios problem anyway. When the smbios is fixed, if the USB isn't, I'll see then. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/996/#findComment-2744693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard-coded, so it's very understandable to change the source. Excuse me, for your great source code, I would like to say that it is certainly good to have a backup on your desktop, which is your great taste. However, only a handful of people here can choose a few for their desktop. It is very regrettable that it does not make you great. It's your great code. And that will make Clover great. I can only beg you for those unlucky people who can't choose what to put on their desktop. I would be honored if you could understand my poor English. I'm very sorry. To finish the discussion I want to ask if the user's home folder will suit for you and other people you mentioned? If yes then we can change the package. @chris1111 may do this. 2 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/996/#findComment-2744704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that all those who use the Package Clover are people who create the full Build? I hope not because most of the people I know use Package Release and don't waste time building Clover So src is not a good option for me Edited November 18, 2020 by chris1111 3 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/996/#findComment-2744727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
