thats hottttttttttttttttt

[chronzz]

how do we uninstall it? not that i want to, and whats with the fake bsd do i have to instal it or uninstall the bsd subsystem?

For now, just like the BSD Subsystem, you can only reinstall Cydia Packager, not uninstall. About the Fake BSD, I agree that it requires better explanation, and here it is:

Quite a few applications on Installer require the BSD Subsystem, Cydia Packager provides better versions of exactly the same files as BSD Subsystem, now if you start out fresh, and install Cydia without having BSD, Installer.app repos don't know that you have these files because BSD isn't installed, but you DO have these files because they came with Cydia. So in this situation, you would install Fake BSD in order to trick installer into thinking you have BSD, and allow applications that require it to install properly.

Note: If you have previously installed BSD Subsystem, you do NOT need Fake BSD, because Installer.app still thinks BSD is installed, and you're fine.

Also, do not reinstall or update BSD Subsystem after installing Cydia, as this will break Cydia, you will never need BSD again after installing it, so don't worry about it

I'd also like to point out that Cydia comes with a working 'passwd' utility, so you can now safely change your SSH password without breaking your phone!

Thanks a lot Saurik I read your entire page and I am just amazed that in just one month you were able to make this happen you really deserve a Nobel price in that though! props for you mate and btw you and the developers have done much more for the iPhone than apple itself I trully salute you lads and I take my hat off for you,poetic Foley,cash,Ryan "take the plunge" Christopher expert in new firmware testings and the rest of the developers.

Apple should really think about hiring such incredible people like you,the dev team and zibri you lads are one of a kind!....

Cheers,eh!

Ps: btw if I want to uninstall Cydia how would I be able to do that,eh? I know If I do that I'll have to reinstall bsd subsystem again.
