What's the best way of installing kernel extensions. I did this there's got to be a better way:

There's no special way to install them via darwinbuild, and questions about using kexts are best directed at darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com. I am not a kernel engineer, so I recommend finding some other documentation. Perhaps start here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/KEXTConcept/KEXTC... Once you understand all of that, the "darwinup" command might be useful, which is part of darwinbuild. -Bill
