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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85653-trying-to-delete-geforce-kext-through-terminal/#findComment-607810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
