You mean a separate port for the kernel module? Yes, emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod is exactly that. Sorry if I was not clear enough but everyone will be able to use the binary packages but if he has a STABLE kernel he will have to compile the corresponding -kmod port nevertheless. Using old kernel modules with newer VirtualBox versions is not supported (especially not between major versions which we are talking about here). -- Bernhard Fröhlich http://www.bluelife.at/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
