Hmmm .... rpm -q says it's not installed; but, even with
rpmfusion enabled, I get :
[root@Hbsk2 ~]# yum install virtualbox
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package virtualbox available.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@Hbsk2 ~]#
So I did
[btth2@Hbsk2 sig]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686
kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686
kernel-2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686
[btth2@Hbsk2 sig]$
-- which didn't tell me much. Neither did lshw-gui, at least
afaict.
I went to google-linux, found
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, and got one for
F14i386.
Then I did (all this on an expendable box) :
[root@Hbsk2 btth2]# rpm -Uvh
VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.6_71344_fedora14-1.i686.rpm
warning: VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.6_71344_fedora14-1.i686.rpm: Header

After

I did cat vbox-install.log|most and got :
Makefile:169: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your

Does all this tell me anything whatever about what will
happen on my newest fastest biggest box??
