[gentoo-user] where did VBoxClient go to?

:-) openrc is a really big "plus" in gentoo.  I avoid systemd. In the meantime, I have discovered functions that can be invoked in /etc/conf.d/net that should be really useful.  I hope to add a [RESOLVED] if I get them to work. I have no idea why it worked as I expected before my filesystem cra
