NinjaKai Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Is there a simple guide on how to have a pendrive recognized while in the installer and how to go about loading the kext while in the installer? Edit: Nevermind, found the text. So the pendrive should automatically be detected in the installer? No tricks that I need to do to make it show up? 1. Find the right .kext for your card (Ethernet or Wireless)2. Put this .kext in a pendrive (USB) 3. Boot the Leopard Install DVD with the pendrive plugged in, open Terminal from the Utilities menu 4. Browse to /Volumes/NAME_OF_YOUR_PENDRIVE/ 5. Copy the .kext that is inside your pendrive to your leopard partition typing: CODE cp -R /Volumes/NAME_OF_YOUR_PENDRIVE/YOUR_KEXT_NAME.kext /Volumes/YOUR_LEOPARD_PARTITION/System/Library/Extensions/ Remember to replace those NAME_OF_YOUR_PENDRIVE... to the real name, as well as the .kext name and Leopard partition name. 6. Reboot, pop out the DVD. 7. Press F8 and in the boot options type -f -v. 8.Then you should be all set, you'll be able to complete that initial setup.
