i'm perusing the user guide for virtualbox and i read the following: "In order to use VirtualBoxʼs USB support, the user account under which you intend to run VirtualBox must have read and write access to the USB filesystem (usbfs)." isn't that statement a bit out of date? i don't see usbfs in use any more on a standard fedora system, so i'm just assuming that claim above is out of date. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
