I just had a look at the instructions at
http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_Installation
but they refer to earlier versions of openSUSE.
Are the instructions shown at this URL still relevant to 11.2 (and its kernel)?
I have a set of instructions produced by Alexei Eremenko back on 18-05-2007 - and the same question also applies to these: are they out-of-date or still current?
By coincidence I have just started reviewing the VirtualBox wiki pages as part of this review: http://en.opensuse.org/Transition_Guidelines#Step_1_:_Articles_review
and will take into account the replies to this thread.
At this point I'll take the opportunity to thank everyone for providing me with most useful advice on how to go about getting VB up and running. I am glad to read that you are reviewing the wiki pages re VB. May I suggest that you take into account Clayton's, Ken Schneider's comment about using *full* name of the VB RPM from SUN, and also the instructions given by David Rankin in his post in this ML dated 8 Feb 2008 titled, "A Quick Start - VirtualBox Howto". One of my personal peeves about VB and around which I cannot wrap my brain is the ability to access from oS the files sitting in any of the partitions created in the Windows virtual disc (.VirtualBox) by apps. installed in VB. If that could be made more understandable then this would be great. Right now, I have VB installed as well as XP. However, I still haven't got something correct because I am not able to have XP display in the full resolution (1920x1080) of my monitor - and which I was able to do, if I recall correctly, a few years ago.
