That's totally weird! Here is what I did in Kubuntu feisty: - Add the feisty repo to /etc/apt/sources.list - Add the innotek key - sudo apt-get install VirtualBox - Accept the license agreement - Compile vboxdrv (the installer did that) - Run innotek VirtualBox - Create a new Virtual Machine - Let it use the Syllable iso - Run it, boot from disk, and install - Reboot, and enjoy Maybe you were using an older or a development version of VirtualBox? or maybe a corrupt iso (that's not rare with sourceforge.net)? > > -- > -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" > > _______________________________________________ > vbox-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev > _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
