Yes, this was me. > Moreover, seems VirtualBox need to be compiled from source [1].

It's pretty simple to get VirtualBox running on grml. :) Just add the following line to your sources.list: # virtualbox: deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian etch non-free Then run 'au ; ati virtualbox' and everything else should run pretty straight forward (assuming you have the kernel-headers available on your system - that's the default for your grml system - so compiling the kernel module by the Debian package works). That's it. :) regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
