Guest bikedude880 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 That will do it. Be sure to write it out like this(I forgot one small important part): sudo cp -R /Volumes/test/ApplePS2Controller.kext /System/Library/Extensions This will ask for the root password and (hopefully) preserve the permissions.
