Boot Camp Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I found a torrent for a program with kext needed to install and run on a hacintosh, how often does this happen? Shouldn't you be able to install any OS X application on a hacintosh without any extra kext?

QuietOC Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 you dont need special kexts to run apps.... Some apps like Temperature Monitors need to install a kext to communicate with the hardware. A program would also need a kext to create anything like a virtual drive.
