+This is the suplementary kernel driver for the VirtualBox
+virtualisation environment.
+
+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-mksrctarball.sh" which will
+generate the needed source package for you. You will need to have
+the coresponding virtualbox-ose version already installed.
