Ram,
Thanks for your answer. 1. Yes 2. Yes, considering that you need to run an 'svcadm restart virtualbox-run-once' service that gets installed with the first installation. Then, when an upgrade is done, this service is responsible to upgrade drivers and/or services at its next start. (so either manually, or, indeed after a reboot). Does that make sense? --Thomas Le 2014-03-31 13:49, Ramshankar a écrit : > Hi, > > Thanks for the work and the heads up, but before I look into this, a couple of questions: > > 1.
