Great! I installed the deb off the repository.

Now it is time to place the module in a separate source package that can be 
compiled and installed using m-a.

The old postinst method worked on each kernel after I booted it (yes, there 
are those of us playing with more than one host kernel!). The new method, in 
my mind more convenient, does NOT. Only works for the first kernel on which 
it is used. My old trick of vi-ing the module and changing the 
"magic" (provided that string is the same length) also did not work.

m-a takes care of all of this correctly. /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup needs 
similar arguments or reading the current kernel (uname, other tools) to set 
itself up correctly.

On the first kernel where it works: Liked having shared folders and 
clipboarding available on the UI up front. Have not tried them yet. I wonder 
if Win98 will work better now with "signed" drivers or is that just for 
additions under 32bit windows.

ReactOS and slackwear derived DeliLinux still hang up the system. DeLi at the 
set console 80x25 as before.
