I've followed the advance networking howto http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Advanced_Networking_Linux. I've noted there is a binary available for MDV2007.1 which is version 1.5.2, however the version distributed with MDV2008 is 1.5.0. I don't want to load the MDV2007.1 binary as the headers will point to an old distribution. -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Registered Linux User 365161 OS Mandriva 2008.0 Kernel 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv HAM Callsign G8JVM : Locator IO82SP QRV all bands 80mtrs to 3 cms ,( non WARC ) http://www.software-radio.org.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
