Problems with mac installation, don't pass the darwin part (leo4all and kalyway)
“Same issue here, but I can't even type in -v or anything...I'm running the 790GX and the SB750 chipsets...Doesn't seem that anyone knows of a workaround for this. I would buy a Mac but they are overpriced for the hardware they have in them.…”
