Installing VirtualBox 1.6.0 in Fedora 9

This article will show you how to install VirtualBox 1.6.0 in Fedora 9 (or other versions) and how to reconfigure it after a kernel update.

1. Download the Fedora 9 RPM for your architecture from here.
2. Install the RPM and then install gcc, make, kernel-headers and kernel-devel.
3. Make sure you have all updates installed.
4. Add yourself to the vboxusers group or just add read/write permissions to "/dev/vboxdrv".
   
5. Open a terminal and run the following command:

su -c "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"

Run step 5 again after a kernel update. Unlike Ubuntu, the USB support in virtual machines is preconfigured and works without errors.
