Default Re: VirtualBox 2.1 Guest Additions in OpenSUSE 11.1

  • "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?
I have never come across the above point.

As far as I am aware, you need to install the kernel-source, make, gcc
packages. That should do it.
