Updating Mac OSX

Updating OSX86 is not as simple of a process as it is on an actual mac computer. In my previous post I showed you how to install OSX 10.5.7 but, as it turns out, apple has released a 10.5.85 update that you may want to install. For starters you'll want to take a look at this site.

Download and install disabler.kext as the guide suggests but don't bother with dsmos.kext as the download link is broken and you don't need that file anyway.

Paste "sudo cp -rf /System/Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions_old" to create a backup of your extensions folder should something go wrong and download the delta update package (download links are available on the tutorial). Install the update as usual but DO NOT reboot when it asks. Instead run OSX86 Tools and run the following:

"Repair Permissions"
"Set kext permissions"
"clear extensions cache"

At this point let the updater reboot your computer and check for any errors.
