Virtualbox on OS6 NAS
Hi all, I know that it's possible to install VirtualBox on legacy x86 NAS. What about OS6? Does anyone knows how to install VirtualBox on OS6? Thanks.

Thanks for the new link mdgm!

So here is what I needed to do first to update virtualbox for OS 6.2.3. Then follow the installation guide on page 2, just remember to remove linux-3.0.101-0.40 links and files then install linux-3.0.101-0.46
apt-get install ncurses-dev
cd /usr/src/linux-3.0.101-0.46/scripts/basic/
chmod 777 fixdep
*** You may not need 777 but I was lazy
Now due to me doing a few unnecessary changes you may not need to do the following steps if you so try without first.
apt-get install buid-essential
apt-get -f install
