I could not get the ose version of VirtualBox to behave itself so installed the version from here.
This installs easy. I only had to use Yast to make sure the default kernel was installed. Then used the Start Button/System/Emulator and VirtualBox is there.
You must also run this from the command line. /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Now you should be able to use VirtualBox
Oh, that's something new. If it's necessary, it's apparently meant to be a secret from users.
It had not come up here.

No its not a secret. As you run VB it will come up on screen in an information box.
I was able to get VB installed automatically; as you may have read, I was unable to run it afterward until I got the case right. But even now, it's unable to run the virtual Win2k that I made, because it can't find a boot drive (which appears to be yet another secret).
As to your Win2K. Have you installed Windows 2000 ?
I have a disk, but have not yet installed it.
You must have the disk to install the operating system once you have set up the virtual (vdi).
Once you tell VB what OS you want to install then put in the cd and it should now start to read and install the OS just as though you were doing a normal install.
That's clear. I hope I get to the point where I need to do that. So far, I am doubtful.
