virtualbox for Debian ------------------------- The Debian virtualbox-guest-source package can be used in several ways, - Using module-assistant(8) commands provided by the module-assistant Debian package: # module-assistant prepare virtualbox-guest # module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-guest - Using the make-kpkg(1) command provided by the kernel-package Debian package. See the "modules_image" section of the make-kpkg(1) man page. - Unpacking /usr/src/virtualbox-*.tar.bz2 and installing the module on your own. -- Patrick Winnertz Tue, 4 Sep 2007 22:17:00 +0200 - The way the device node is created is kind of ugly, but follows upstream's way. http://blino.org/blog/mandriva/kernel/register_vboxadd_device.html suggest a better way that might get integrated into the package later on. -- Michael Meskes Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:32:10 +0100 - Starting with version 3.0.10 virtualbox can use dkms(8) to build the modules automatically. If you prefer using dkms, please install virtualbox-dkms instead. -- Michael Meskes Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:29:23 +0100
