+@VBOX_PRODUCT@ for Oracle Solaris 11 (TM) Operating System
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Installing:
+-----------
+
+After extracting the contents of the tar.xz file install the VirtualBox
+package with the following command:
+
+    $ sudo pkg install -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.p5p virtualbox
+
+Of course you can add options for performing the install in a different boot
+environment or in a separate Solaris install.
+
+Normally you need to reboot the system to load the drivers which have been
+added by the VirtualBox package.
+
+If you want to have VirtualBox immediately usable on your system you can run
+the script /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh which sets up everything immediately.
+
+At this point, all the required files should be installed on your system.
+You can launch VirtualBox by running 'VirtualBox' from the terminal.
+
+
+Upgrading:
+----------
+
+If you want to upgrade from an older to a newer version of the VirtualBox IPS
+package you can use the following command after extracting the contents of the
+tar.xz file:
+
+    $ sudo pkg update -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.p5p virtualbox
+
+If you want to upgrade from the SysV package of VirtualBox to the IPS one,
+please uninstall the previous package before installing the IPS one. Please
+refer to the "Uninstalling" and "Installing" sections of this document for
+details.
+
+It is your responsibility to ensure that no VirtualBox VMs or other related
+activities are running. One possible way is using the command pgrep VBoxSVC. If
+this shows no output then it is safe to upgrade VirtualBox.
+
+
+Uninstalling:
+-------------
+
+To remove VirtualBox from your system, run the following command:
+
+    $ sudo pkg uninstall virtualbox
+
+It is your responsibility to ensure that no VirtualBox VMs or other related
+activities are running. One possible way is using the command pgrep VBoxSVC. If
+this shows no output then it is safe to uninstall VirtualBox.
