yum install VirtualBox is piece of cake.
I am reading this mail on an F10 box, and yum install VirtualBox and tried this:
[root@dia ~]# yum install VirtualBox
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package VirtualBox available.
Nothing to do
And I searched for all spelling variations of VirtualBox: there is
nothing like that. :(
Okay, maybe the piece of cake was a little larger than what I remember :-)
I actually went to http://www.virtualbox.org, downloaded the package for
Fedora and did a yum localinstall
which was the correct thing to do as, the last time i looked, there is
no yum repository for VirtualBox. perhaps those folks could be convinced
to set one up, and provide a yum repo file for it?
