Hi, cavallier, I did run the command with the slitaz-toolchain plus all the other parameters (binutils ... etc ... make) individually with --forced. They all installed but I still get missing the Build and Header files of the linux kernel.
seawolf, thanks for the command. erjo, thanks for the sugestion
but ... after running the command and installing everything, vbox couldn't still make it.
I would like to post here the terminal 's text messaging, but so far didn't manage do copy paste from the terminal to elsewhere. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

As our installer does not recognize your Linux distribution, we were unable to set up the initialization script vboxadd correctly. The script has been copied copied to the /etc/init.d directory. You should set up your system to start it at system start, or start it manually before using VirtualBox.
If you would like to help us add support for your distribution, please open a new ticket on http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker.

I already opened a bug tracker ticket on virtual box :(. It's not "my" distribution, but it's the distribution I use for lots of things, cause is fast, agile and low on required resources.
SliTaz uses BusyBox, which is a collection of command-line utilities that are re-written to be shrunk down. Unfortunately, they (BB) haven't done it properly, so it's compatibility is crap. This means that df is different, and the script that sets VBox up uses df doesn't use it properly the BB version properly. It throws this error: df: invalid option -- 'P'
If you follow what the error message says, it tells you to add two services to start-up. You can do this by appending the names of the scripts oin the correct area of the Control Box.
After a reboot, do things seem to work? I've had some issues with some versions.
1. "After a reboot, do things seem to work"? You mean, now, this is before, or after adding the scripts to the startup? Right now, without adding the scripts to the start up, everythings runs fine, with the exceptions mentioned in "3." which awere already ocurring before trying to install anything.
2. Adding scrripts to the "startup" in Control Box There is a "inicialization" tab in contrfol box, with a "add local commands: /etc/init.d/local.sh" button. By clicking on it, i get a sort of command file, where one of the lines shows
". /etc/init.d/rc.functions"
Shall I replicate this line with the name of the scripts?
3. By the way, since the first reboot/startedup after the installation of slitaz cooking, I 'm getting one "Failed" line in during the booting/startup and antother "Failed" during the loging off /shutting down of slitaz cooking, but could not stop the scrolling and read it properly. But this does not happen when I use the system's reboot option, instead of shutting it down
#!/bin/sh # /etc/init.d/local.sh - Local startup commands. # # All commands here will be executed at boot time. # . /etc/init.d/rc.functions - /etc/init.d/vboxadd . /etc/init.d/vboxadd-service
echo "Starting local startup commands... "
b)- after rebooting, either as root or tux, everything went normal; in fact, nothing happened and slitaz keeps running smoothly. Of course, vbox guest additions isn't installed neither.
c)- in root, when trying to run the scripts mannually with the "start" sufix, the result is:
For "$/root/etc/init.d/vboxadd start"
"Starting VirtualBox Guest Addition service VirtualBox Additions module not loaded! Starting VirtualBox Additions ...fail! (Cannot change owner vboxadd:1 for device /dev/vboxadd)"
For "$root/etc/init.d/vboxadd start"
"Starting VirtualBox Guest Addition service VirtualBox Additions module not loaded! Starting VirtualBox Additions ...fail! (Cannot change owner vboxadd:1 for device /dev/vboxadd) Starting VirtualBox Guest Addition service VirtualBox Additions module not loaded!"
3. Checking the boot.log for failed actions (by the way, I could not find the corresponding text file, if any exists, and so this a manual transcription):
".... Starting udev daemon ... [Failed] Udevadm requesting events from the Kernel ... [ok] Udevadm waiting for the event qeue to finish ... [ok] ..."
I see. I think you'll have to install a few of the proper utilities over the BusyBox versions, by using the package database to search for each file in turn, starting with df, and installing the appropriate package. Obviously the VBox binary installer does not compensate for having BB installed.
The UDev Fail is normal. I have that. Apparently, you can restart UDev manually and it works. I think there's a forum post about it somewhere.
Thanks, seawolf. Unfortunately, that task is out of my scope and capacities, cause I started looking at linux in December and I,m only a user, and a very fresh newbie. Let's see what the version 3 will bring.
