8 The Debian packages will request some user feedback when
9 installed for the first time. The debconf system is used to
10 perform this task. To prevent any user interaction during
11 installation, default values can be defined. A file
12 <codeph>vboxconf</codeph> can contain the following debconf
13 settings:
14 </p>
15 <pre xml:space="preserve">virtualbox virtualbox/module-compilation-allowed boolean true
16virtualbox virtualbox/delete-old-modules boolean true</pre>
17 <p>
18 The first line enables compilation of the vboxdrv kernel
19 module if no module was found for the current kernel. The
20 second line enables the package to delete any old vboxdrv
21 kernel modules compiled by previous installations.
22 </p>
23 <p>
24 These default settings can be applied prior to the
25 installation of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Debian package, as follows:
26 </p>
27 <pre xml:space="preserve">debconf-set-selections vboxconf</pre>
28 <p>
29 In addition there are some common configuration options that
30 can be set prior to the installation. See
31 <xref href="linux_install_opts.dita#linux_install_opts"/>.
