from someone not up to speed on this, is it not safe to dup (using vbox from TW oss repo)?
I am not quite sure what you mean by "safe". The only possible unfavorable outcome is that the VB kernel modules may not match a newly installed kernel. That would cause virtual machines using VirtualBox to fail to run. Your options at that point are to (1) boot the previous kernel, (2) use the suggested script /sbin/vboxconfig to build those modules locally, or (3) install the version of VB from Oracle. The latter option may have problems with the kernel build, as seen in a previous mail in this thread. I am actively working on correcting the build configuration error that allows a new kernel to be shipped without the appropriate kernel modules; however, the spec file for VB is very complicated.
