Re: arch as a virtualbox guest

Currently, if you make Virtualbox think you have slackware by touching the /etc/slackware-version file, the guest additions should install fine.  The slackware rc.d scripts should work fine as well.

AFAIK the packages in community only seem to be for running arch as the host, rather than as the guest.  the guest additions is only the ISO, rather than the modules i need to load.

i tried the /etc/slackware-version, but nothing gets put in rc.d or anything sad

I also tried the "touch /etc/slackware-version" - it didn't help for me. After installation there are no rc.d scripts.
