InfiniteMac OSx86 - Ipc 10.5.6 to 10.5.7

InfiniteMac OSx86 (http://infinitemac.com/forum.php)

- 10.X (http://infinitemac.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36)

- - Ipc 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 (http://infinitemac.com/showthread.php?t=2869)

I updated my iPC via delta, restored my entire extentions folder and voodoo kernel from the older build (10.5.6), worked fine but oddly I needed the older finder from 10.5.6 as well. Still experimenting, looking for issues and have not overwritten my primary build yet.

Why restore the whole 10.5.6 extensions? Thats not really recommended unless you found some really serious troubles, it will probably cause more issues in the end.

Man I envy you guys who could just run the software update, I tried my luck with that one and couldn't boot at all, I had to restore a cloned partition I made a while back.

The netkas instructions are a little bit all over the place, with "either the easy method" or the old method - they are both completely different and a bit confusing, especially for mac noobs like me.

I don't really know how to install a kext - or what the extras folder refers to. Can please someone walk me through updating from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7?

Is it worth the hassle?

I updated my Dell E521 (iPC 10.5.6) via Software Update to 10.5.7, I had to reboot to the iPC DVD and copy over the mach_kernel (I made a backup before running the update), remove the "new" nVidia kexts and put back 10.5.5 via 9f23installer, removed AppleHDA.kext in favor of VoodooHDA.kext. Working well! :cool:
