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
