+This are the suplementary kernel drivers for the VirtualBox
+virtualization environment to be used within a guest.
+
+To build the package for a kernel different from the running one,
+start the script setting the KERNEL variable as in
+ KERNEL=2.6.27.7 ./virtualbox-kernel.SlackBuild
+
+If you want to build a kernel module for an other virtualbox version
+you can use the included "virtualbox-kernel-addons-mksrctarball.sh"
+which will generate the needed source package for you. You will need
+to have the coresponding virtualbox-ose-addons version already installed.
+
+This package is intended to be used on GUEST / VIRTUAL MACHINES running
+Slackware, NOT the host system.
