The current Fedora 14, as of today, as well as Rawhide, Fedora 15 to be
runs just fine in Virtualbox 3.2.8 *without* the Guestadditions here.
Missing the 'tweaks' that the Guestadditions provide of course.

I have no experience with Fedora qemu/kvm machines. But what, exactly,
does that have to do with my question? Or was that just a frustrated
comment?  :-)
