    macOS 10.15.4 Supplemental Update

    Got sick of update problems. Created a new install Catalina (10-15-4) flash drive using newest UniBeast.

    Update Directly to macOS Catalina

    I created a USB installation drive using the present UniBeast and renaming the downloaded version of Catalina that was saved in Applications to Mojave. Once completed, I renamed the created installation to Catalina. It works.

    Catalina No sound

    The only way I got WiFi and sound to work on a clean install of Catalina was to put all applicable kexts (all the kexts I added in L/E in Mojave) in the EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other folder. As far as I know, the old method of installing kexts does not work in Catalina. Edit: added clarification
