[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing Virtual Box for the first time

[peter jones]

I am trying to install virtual box on a new installation 151a7 and have got
myself into difficulties.

After several attempt to download the new version from VBox follow the
instructions and wiki I have drawn a blank.I ran the following script as a
last resort but still had no success.

Could you give me some pointers with this script?
