Ok Frank. Thank you very much for replying ! I fully understand the ASAP answers issue. I've been following https://svn.bluelife.at/index.cgi/packages/revision/?rev=last and downloading the port files from http://svn.bluelife.at/projects/packages/blueports/emulators/virtualbox/ >From these, I am running 2.2.5 (Yes, its running now !! I erased the old .VirtualBox directory and this fixed it). Frank, since it seems to me you're from Sun, please endulge one last question from me. On the site it say this about the OSE: "The VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is the one that has been released under the GPL and comes with complete source code. It is functionally equivalent to the full VirtualBox package, except for a few features that primarily target enterprise customers. This gives us a chance to generate revenue to fund further development of VirtualBox". I could not agree more, but why make bridge networking and Remote desktop avaliable for Linux but not for FreeBSD? I understand linux is more popular but its nature is equal to FreeBSD. Well, thanks again for replying. best wishes !! _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
