+@VBOX_PRODUCT@ for Oracle Solaris (TM) Operating System
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Upgrading:
+----------
+
+If you have an existing VirtualBox installation and you are upgrading to
+a newer version of VirtualBox, please uninstall the previous version
+before installing a newer one. Please refer to the "Uninstalling" section
+at the end of this document for details.
+
+
+Installing:
+-----------
+
+After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:
+
+1. Login as root using the "su" command.
+
+2. Install the VirtualBox package:
+
+ pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@BUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
+
+ To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this
+ package, add "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvbox" (without quotes)
+ to the end of the above pkgadd command.
+
+3. For each package, the installer will ask you to "Select package(s) you
+ wish to process". In response, type "1".
+
+4. Type "y" when asked about continuing the installation.
+
+At this point, all the required files should be installed on your system.
+You can launch VirtualBox by running 'VirtualBox' from the terminal.
+
+
+Uninstalling:
+-------------
+
+To remove VirtualBox from your system, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Login as root using the "su" command.
+
+2. To remove VirtualBox, run the command:
+ pkgrm SUNWvbox
