I am asked for privileges during installation. I guess it is only to add files (like kernel modules) to locations not writable by regular users. Is there anything else I am missing?

Yes ;-)

In the "postflight" script of VirtualBox (the .pkg inside the .mpkg) there is
chown -R root:admin /Applications/VirtualBox.app
!

I didn't want to do that,
but after doing the continuation of this "postflight" script which makes some hard links,
it doesn't want to launch
Then i did
ln -s /Users/thomas/Applications/special/VirtualBox.app/ / Applications/VirtualBox.app and it launches (Well, somewhere is the path hard-coded, it shouldn't be very difficult to correct it)
But ...

BTW if you try to use VB without kernel modules it will not work-- is this what you are worried about?


Yes,
I would like to be able to run VirtualBox without kernel modules,
since acceleration is not a need for me, and network do not need kernel modules

But considering that they are needed to run VirtualBox, I would like, at least, to not have anything else outside the user space


Any developer opinion ? :-)



PS : Sorry to cut all your quotting, my reader doesn't support it
