asapreta Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Maybe some devices working natively and some more speed improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuruu Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 one of the big advantages of using the up to date kernel is that we are able to use all of 10.4.8. previously we had to exclude a number of kexts and a number of frameworks from the update, this caused issues with drivers and such which then lead to missing features and functionality. Performance is important too. The biggest feature you're likely to notice from the 8.8.1 kernel is working 10.4.8 rosetta which was greatly improved! but has not been available to the hackintosh until now. bear in mind though that for some drivers we are still not working 100% because of EFI, the kernel replaces EFI and allows most kexts to run, and thorough testing is yet to be done, but some kexts that are heavily reliant on EFI will still not function...

GBK.Xscape Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 hey JaS, i wondering when you make a JaS 10.4.8 full release and kernal if you could make basic version that does not include the 2 something gigs of printer drivers, extra laguages and fonts... haha i guess you didnt realize that those were already optional. before clicking install there should be a customize button you should have clicked anyways for the right patches i.e. sse2/sse3. there you will be able to pick what extra languages and printer drivers you want.

I think he means that he doesn't want to have to download all the extra languages etc. because he won't use them and he would like a slimmed down release without them.

dark4181 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 personally, the only thing i'd need is a patch to run my ULi SATA chipset. other than that i think OSX would run quite well on my comp either way i'm getting a mac next year though, so i'm not fussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedzed Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I would rather wait an extra week or two to get a good working update rather than another update with "EXRENSIONS" issues. Thanks for the great work JaS and other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
