The VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg package also still installs fine on Solaris 10 u10
So the Guest Control File Manager (which *depends* on the guest additions as far as I understand) also works on Solaris 10 guests running VBoxService ...
The 6.0.0beta3 guest additions install fine on Solaris10, also the vboxfs filesystem works.
There is one remark: a "minimal" Solaris install has no OpenGL or libgcc_so.1 so the guest additions warn that it can't install the OpenGL driver (logical but not very nice as it doesn't check this condition very well).
when doing a full Solaris install this is not an issue as both libgcc_s.so.1 and OpenGL are installed.# cat /etc/release Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86 Copyright (c) 1983, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
