I have installed virtualbox-ose-2.1.4 on slackware 12.2 from slackbuilds.org.
Installed dependencies and then
virtualbox-kernel
virtualbox-kernel-addons
virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose-addons

The problems is

x2)
I can't seem to figure how to setup bridged networking.
and
I don't have a file to run virtualbox.

Code:

-bash: virtualbox: command not found

The command is VirtualBox (capitalized).
You can pretty much set everything up from the program interface, networking included.

Talk about one of those "DUH" moments. Capitalization never crossed my mind. I spend too much time using windows.

Thanks

erm, the -addons are not meant to be installed on the *host*.
If they are, remove them or you *will* get conflicts
