Hi ! It's archetech from irc with his first email to mail lists. I am unable to find on google or anywhere a guide to installing Linux Guest Additions to a blfs vbox vm that has xorg fully installed (but no DE yet). What I've found out is that the install script has a section to query for the distro name and years ago someone at Oracle added LFS sysvinit to the script but of course it hasn't been updated for systemd. Here's some snippits of VBoxLinuxAdditions.run found in the root of the standard vboxversion*.iso available at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox elif [ -f /etc/lfs-release -a -d /etc/rc.d/init.d ]; then system=lfs else system=otherif [ "$system" = "lfs" ]; then . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions fail_msg() { echo_failure } succ_msg() { echo_ok } begin() { echo $1 } fi I'm not a dev just a reg user of LFS so this is beyond my pay grade. If systemd could be added to the script at vbox or after we download and edit it I'd be willing to help with testing and support of this in the blfs book(s) and irc. Thanks for reading and keep up the good work. Archetech
