SBo made some major changes to the search function of the site. This is probably why the script failed. Could you please tell me the exact command you used to to and install virtualbox kernel? I'll make the changes as soon as I can. Thanks for the bug report. SBo made some major changes to the search function of the site. This is probably why the script failed.

The compilation succeeded but Sinp tried to install "*1.6.2_2.6.24.5_smp-i486-1_SBo.tgz" rather than "virtualbox-kernel-1.6.2_2.6.24.5_smp-i486-1_SBo.tgz". I simply installed manually with installpkg but the script failed at that last stage. I ran across a bug while trying to install virtualbox-kernel on Slackware 12.1.

Also, INSTALL mentions as slackbuild for SLIP but I don't see one. Does it exist? I needed to change the line
sourceDownload=`grep DOWNLOAD $TMP/$slackbuildProg/*.info | cut -d ‘=’ -f2`

to

sourceDownload=`grep DOWNLOAD $TMP/$slackbuildProg/*.info | cut -d ‘”‘ -f2`

so that it would work (= changes to “). Also, INSTALL mentions as slackbuild for SLIP but I don’t see one. Does it exist?
