Hi, From time to time I need to run VirtualBox, not often thanks to bhyve:), but the VirtualBox kernel module needs to be compiled when one uses a VIMAGE-enabled kernel. VirtualBox is quite big and that means several hours of compiling so I'd like to just "pkg install" it. My options are: 1) switch to a GENERIC kernel just to run VBox VMs or 2) compile VBox from ports for my VIMAGE-enabled kernel Does somebody else have a better solution? What other people do? TIA, Nikos PS It'd would be so good if we had a extra pkg for vbox-kmod with vnet support
