shoarthing Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 . . you may find this thread [& the utility it links to] useful. [edit] you will of course need to unzip any *.kexts before installing them. To do this, right-click any folder, choose 'enable folder actions' . . then thereafter you can right-click any *.zip & choose: 'open with BOMarchivehelper" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66948-chown-and-chmod-all-double-dutch-to-me/#findComment-474903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue1980 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 i'm a lil confused. I would have thought there would be sounds when osx starts up and when the dock comes up for instance. have i become too used to windows? lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66948-chown-and-chmod-all-double-dutch-to-me/#findComment-474930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
