VirtualBox is a virtualisation software from Sun Microsystems.<br><br>Install of debian lenny as a guest of my WinXP was no Problem.<br>The only thing - in the moment is that the screen resolution can not be adjusted to the resolution of my laptops screen: 1280x800<br>I tried to change the configuration in the X11/xorg.conf, but this was not successful.<br><br>I read some mailing lists and the documentation of VirtualBox. I think it would be necessary to install the virtual box "Linux Guest Additions". This is an
iso-image that is shipped with the VirtualBox. You have to mount this iso to the Guest and can access the necessary packages...<br><br>The VirtualBox documentation says, that .... BEFORE ... installing the guest additions, the DKMS package has to be installed FIRST.<br>They say you should use:<br>sudo apt-get install dkms<br><br>but the package ist not available. I read your hints on<br>http://pkg-dkms.alioth.debian.org/<br>and found the apt-get crossed and the hint:<br>If you feel
adventurous, just do a checkout of our <code>debian/</code> directory:
<blockquote>
<code>svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-dkms/dkms/trunk dkms</code>
</blockquote>
<p>You might want to run the <code>get-orig-source</code> target, and
use <code>svn-buildpackage</code>.</p>
