Why do you think this? Things that install kernel extensions are few and far between. Hardware drivers mostly. Most products just use the normal places... /Applications /Applications/Utilities /Library ~/Library If you know the name of the product, and their domain, finding the related files there should be simple. >and I'm asking if any of you guys out there know of any utility - >shareware or otherwise - which >will identify installed kexts, so I know which ones are safe to remove. There are a few commercial products out there that claim to do it. But they're all baloneyware - to do such a thing with any sort of reliability, they'd have to know about every detail of every version of every product. hah.
