Default VirtualBox 2.1 Guest Additions in OpenSUSE 11.1
I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 as a guest in VirtualBox 2.1.0 (Windows host). I tried to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions (sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run) and got the following error:
  • "Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel."

As I understand the VirtualBox user manual, it says to perform the following to the OpenSUSE 11.1 guest:
  1. Install DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support
  2. Install 'kernel-source' and 'kernel-syms' packages

I hit my first problem because I can't find DKMS with YAST. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Is there anything else that I would need to do to get the VirtualBox 2.1.0 Guest Additions in OpenSUSE 11.1?
