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.

 - 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.

 - 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.
