Not you must execute as root. the rest of the line setup will compile the driver. Leave off the quotes. Also another option is status - will tell if driver is installed. ebgz:~> /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are loaded. If you do not see vboxdrv in /etc/vboxdrv then something went wrong with your build. Why not use the ose version located in the oSS repository or if you need the usb support download the free proprietary version from the Sun website (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads)? Then use YaST to install it. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
