It is? I'd say that for at least the downloaded RPM it's not the same...
I've installed it this way: 1. Download the VirtualBox RPM from the virtualbox.org website 2. zypper install <vbox RPM> 3. Add my user to the vboxusers group 4. Log out/log in
That's it. USB works.. everything works. No messing with fstab

Aaah...the beauty of a democracy and the freedom of choice.... :-)
Several answers...all wonderful.
But.....using "zypper install <vbox RPM>" will only install the openSUSE version of VirtualBox and not the SUN version...
Ummm no. I said download the version from virtualbox.org (aka the Sun version)
Yep, did that.
and install THAT VERSION with zypper using zypper install <vbox RPM>. This will install the downloaded RPM not the OSE version (as long as you run zypper from the same directory as the downloaded RPM or point zypper at the RPM).
Yep, tried to do this- both while in the directory where the SUN version was located and then also pointing to that directory. Regrettably this did not work for me. Must have been doing something terribly wrong :-( . Had to install using the old "rpm -i *.rpm" approach. Will complete the full install tomorrow now that I located the XP installation disc - and blew the dust off it :-D BC -- If you don't succeed you run the risk of failure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
