See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction. However digging deeper (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) we find: Support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP, disk encryption, NVMe and PXE boot for Intel cards. See this chapter from the User Manual for an introduction to this Extension Pack. The Extension Pack binaries are released under the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL). Please install the same version extension pack as your installed version of VirtualBox. IIRC from when I used to use VB (I now use KVM/QEMU) the RPMfusion version doesn't include the extension pack, but I may have it the wrong way round. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
