HI.

Debian Squeeze Host:
I'm using Debian Squeeze (Testing) but there is only a Lenny 3.0.0 binary available.

Question;
1. Can I use the 'Lenny' 3.0.0 .deb with a Debian Squeeze host ?
I'm concerned the dependencies are for Lenny instead of Squeeze when I check via;
sudo apt-get -s install virtualbox-3.0

As soon as all dependencies can be met you can use the Lenny package on Squeeze. If some dependencies are missing, please tell me which. If the Lenny package does not work on Squeeze for any reason, the universal .run package should work in any case.

Thank you.

Should this be sufficient in Squeeze ?
1. Add Key: Download the key http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... n_vbox.asc
# sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc
2. Edit: # sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.lst
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny non-free
3. Update # sudo apt-get update
4. Install dkms # sudo apt-get install dkms
5. Re Compile Kernel modules, sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Thank you.

my Squeeze box is running Virtualbox 3.0 from the Sun Lenny repository (have it in /etc/apt/sorces.lst), no problem - but i dont use dkms

BTW this Debian testing box was already running Virtualbox from the Etch repository when there was no Lenny repository available
