Default HELP! Trying to convert to ext4 on a mac!

Please guys help!
Im on my macbook pro. I recently upgraded to the leaked version of FROYO on my EPIC 4G.
I want to convert to ext4 file format, BUT when i try to use One Click Root, it goes into stock recovery, i click install sdcard/update.zip it starts to install, and then it says installation aborted, status code 2 in red.

I tried connecting it to VMware fusion 2, which im running Windows 7. To try to use the ext4 file format conversion, but i recently read on a forum that vmware fusion doesnt support galaxy s phones.

Please help! If i can get my phone back to stock, or convert to ext4.
Im an avid Android and Samsung user and i would love to have ext4, ive heard so many great things. And my Epic is really choppy

Im on a macbook and i used this one click root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103

If you want to have ext4 the quickest way now is by installing clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 (not sure how to do this) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612

If not go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890494 and get the flashable zip (use both oneclick and flash links because the first gives you prepare.zip) ..download your preffered rom (bonsai4all 1.1.3 is awesome) and PM if your having problems..

Edit: Forgot to say run prepare.zip in clockwork mod(u get this recovery after oneclick) and it gives u cwm 2.5.1.2 (reboot recovery under advanced)
then run ext formatter.zip....dont reboot and flash new rom. and your set

Ok use this method to get ext4

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612

When you unzip OneClickRootCWM3.zip you downloaded you will need to replace the run.sh file in that folder with the one I am attaching here! Once this file is replaced then type ./run.sh from your mac terminal. DO NOT forget to do change your directory to the one click folder you unzipped the files when you use your terminal! All I did was edit the run.sh to work with your Mac. All credit goes to Dameon87 for his OneClickRootCWM3.zip!

Edit: When you download my run.sh.zip file just remove the .zip extension and rename it just to run.sh as I couldn't upload the file with the .sh extension here!!!

I know you might be in a slight panic but please post your questions in the correct thread. No need to start a new thread in development just to ask a question. There is a Q&A thread up top. Someone will answer your questions there I promise!
