I've installed VirtualBox from YaST, specifically the packages: virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-tools virtualbox-ose-kmp-default (This is the default kernel) xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose (Mouse & Video driver)
Calling 'virtualbox' at a terminal does nothing. I do not find anything that looks like an executable for this program, so something seems to be missing.
Besides two additional kernels of the same size as the default ("debug" and "trace"), there is another, much smaller "kernel" called virtualbox-ose-kmp- pae, and maybe that is what is missing. But if someone can confirm that, I would feel much easier in making the experiment. The descriptions of these files in the Software Manager are less helpful than usual.

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 -- Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.
