trifle Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi. I really appreciate what everyone here does for support. I've have had success installing ElCapitan, Sierra, and Mojave with Latitude 6230, XPS 9350, and moderate success with Latitude 6320. Now I turn to the community to ask for a starter pack for a Dell desktop, probablly best to start with Sierra. I have the USB genned up with the install image, just need the suggested kexts and config.plist for the desktop. Here is a summary of the specs: Dell Inspiron 3847 Aptio/AMI BIOS A11.65.10, Motherboard 088DT1 vA01 Intel Core i5-4460 @3.2GHz, Haswell, HD4600 graphics DW1705/QCA9565 Wireless Realtek RTL8111 Ethernet lspci shows 'Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen rev 06' HD audio Thank you for any advice or suggestions you may offer.
