Installing kext

I want to install kext for my ALC888s sound and wondering if anyone can help me installing it.

I have OSX86Tools but I don't know how to use it. I also have Kext helper but I cannot past the password entry since I don't have a password on my system. I cannot get the 'Easy Install' to highlight so i can install.

please help me.

thanx.

katie

What kext is it, you want to install?

In general - stay away from OSx86Tools they are not made for use with Snow Leopard. You don'nt need stuff like special tools for that: Just copy the kext to /System/Library/Extensions folder - ignore any upcoming messages about it & peform the following commands on Terminal:

sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches

Then reboot & kext-install should be fine.
