Well, l'm klnd of openlng up a blg can of worms here, as uSu1 creaLlon ls a raLher complex maLLer and Lhere ls

1here has already been some menLlon abouL uSu1, so you should have some famlllarlLy wlLh whaL lL ls now.
8aslcally, lL's Lhe slngle mosL elemenL Lo a PaclnLosh LhaL deLermlnes how well your sysLem and componenLs

now, Lhere are many oLher componenLs LhaL are also essenLlal, such a compaLlble kernel, lakeSMC, kexL flles,
Chameleon, eLc., buL more ofLen Lhan noL, all Lhese oLher componenLs can be presenL and perfecLly
funcLlonal, buL your machlne sLlll has lssues, and Lhe reason ls ofLen uSu1 relaLed. So lf you can manage Lo geL
a greaL uSu1 for your machlne, Lhe oLher sLuff ls usually easy. 1hen you can have a greaL worklng PaclnLosh
sysLem. noL lnLendlng Lo mlslead you however, l need Lo menLlon noL everyLhlng can be made Lo work wlLh
uSu1 edlLs. lf drlvers are needed (ln Lhe form of kexL flles ln Lhe CS x envlronmenL), Lhen componenLs wlLh
mlsslng, or non-exlsLenL kexL flles wlll nC1 work. An example of Lhls ls Lhe flngerprlnL reader. nelLher Lhe
manufacLurer, nor Apple, has produced CS x drlvers for Lhls devlce, so unLll someone does, lL's noL golng Lo
work, uSu1 or no uSu1.
lf you acqulre a uSu1 from elsewhere, you musL be aware of whlch machlne lL was creaLed for, and Lhe specs
of LhaL machlne. 1he furLher away from your machlne's conflguraLlon your uSu1 ls, Lhe more lssues you wlll
llkely have and Lhlngs noL funcLlonlng properly. So lL ls besL Lo sLarL wlLh a clean uSu1 generaLed from your

All LhaL ls needed ls a llLLle Llme and help Lo work Lhrough uSu1 lssues Lo allow you Lo creaLe a more
cusLomlzed uSu1 for your machlne and geL lL worklng properly. lease share any successes you have wlLh your

8e aware of Lhe followlng however as lL perLalns Lo CS x:

uSu1s are very lmporLanL Lo geLLlng your hardware Lo work under CS x. uSu1 works ln con[uncLlon wlLh your
sysLem's 8lCS Lo make your C appear more llke a real Mac Lo CS x. 1he uSu1.aml flle you lnsLall wlLh CS x
musL be creaLed from your machlne's 8lCS. So wlLh Lhls ln mlnd, sysLem 8lCS verslons and uSu1.aml flles
should be used as maLched palrs!
1hls can be very lmporLanL Lo machlne sLablllLy, and can mean Lhe dlfference beLween devlces worklng or noL
worklng. So for example leL's say you have compleLed Lhe lnsLallaLlon process and you now have your CS x
worklng. Several monLhs from now you flnd Lhere ls a new updaLed verslon of Lhe 8lCS for your machlne and
you updaLe your 8lCS wlLh lL. now your 8lCS and uSu1.aml flle may be ouL of sync", and you may experlence

Lhere belng some lssue wlLh Lhe new 8lCS flle.)
Cn Lhe oLher hand, Lhe changes Lo Lhe new updaLed 8lCS flle may be only mlnor and noL adversely lmpacL CS
x aL all and everyLhlng wlll sLlll work flne, buL lL ls lmporLanL Lo undersLand Lhe posslblllLles. 1hls ls why lL's

3) Cnce done, you can reLurn Lo ShowAllllles and selecL Plde Lo reLurn hldden flles and folders back Lo
