cgsheen Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Either: A. DON'T use Terminal - boot into single user mode and use the command prompt to delete OR B. Boot using safe mode ( -x ) and delete the files from the OS X Desktop using Finder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrage Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hey Man, Well, I am very n00b to Mac, but have learnt a bit poking around getting mine going. If you want to delete a file on your drive... Boot using the install disk Once install starts launch the Terminal cd / cd /Volumes/yourpartitionname <---Change to your partition name This will dump you into the root of the partition and allow you to navigate and delete any kext. --RR i tried using the wiki and it does nothing. i wish i could do b! i'm trying to get into leopard in the first place thats why i'm deleting the kexts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
