VirtualBox is a free x86 virtualization solution allowing a wide range of x86 operating systems such as Windows, DOS, BSD or Linux to run on a Linux system.

This package provides the source code for the virtualbox guest addition kernel modules. The virtualbox-guest-utils package is also required in order to make use of these modules. Kernel sources or headers are required to compile these modules.

The source is placed under /usr/src, and after decompression it can be built to produce a virtualbox-guest-modules-_KVERS_ providing "virtualbox-guest-modules" package.
