JaS Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Open a terminal and type sudo -s (hit enter) enter your user password mkdir /10.4.8\ Extensions cp -r /system/library/Extensions/ /10.4.8\ Extensions/ That should do it.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunknbass Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 hey thanks alot. i upgraded to 10.4.9 seemingly without a prob. now im trying to decide if i should upgrade to the newer kernel, this is the sketchy part because it seems that some peoples systems are done for once they upgrade and theres no way to go back unless you install a disk image backup.. so what are the reasons why id want to upgrade the kernel? would normal software which requires 10.4.9 most likely require the new kernel as well? does the system run faster with the new kernel? etc. thanks alot!
