Templeton Peck Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 fire up a terminal window and type "cd /" then type "pico .hidden" then type "mach_kernel" then press crrl-x and hit y to save the file. Relaunch Finder, and the file should be hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proteo Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks a lot xyhh, best solution so far for me. However, the right flags are: sudo ./setfile -a V /mach_kernel Otherwise it returns an error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
