VirtualBox defaults to using the CDROM/DVD drive which is pretty worthless
unless you have a supply of blanks, I
don't have many on hand presently. I have been trying to make the USB
function work without much success.
Googling suggests group/user problems, I have bobg and root listed as
vboxusers.
The GUI has a USB menu which is always grayed, where I can create a
filter, it recognizes the Sandisk flash drive
when entered, I click on OK and nothing is saved apparently.
Now I've run across something in google that suggests an entry in fstab
may be required?
Has any one worked through this maze who can tell me how to make it work?
what package?
USB support is simply not available for the OSE version

Ok, I give up, wont waste any more effort on that then but it really
diminishes the usefulness of VB!
Thanks,

I can read and write to a flash drive without problems. It worked out of the box for me. I tried to post a screenshot, but it got held up in moderation. In the old versions of VirtualBox, USB support was in the "guest additions" package, as I remember, but I haven't had to install that for some time. I can't remember if you are using the virtualbox.org package or the one in the repositories, but you may have to install the exension pack. See: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. But I gotta say that I didn't have to do this when I installed it using apper. It just worked out of the box.
