Default Re: VirtualBox 2.1 Guest Additions in OpenSUSE 11.1
Linux Newbie and OpenSUSE virgin...

Just trying to RTFM and do what it says. In the VirtualBox 2.1 User Manual, Section 4.3.1 says to install DKMS in the guest. Then it refers back to Section 2.3.2, which says to install 'kernel-source' and 'kernel-syms' in SUSE and OpenSUSE

I'm testing out the "major" Linux distributions in VirtualBox to see which one I might want to install. In Mandriva 2009, the VirtualBox Guest Additions come pre-installed. The mouse pointer integration, better video support, seamless windows, etc. worked out-of-the-box. In Ubuntu 8.10, the build and header files step was not necessary; I only had to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
