ymm yes the above command should work all byitself. you may find you need to do: yum --nogpgcheck install VirtualBox-whatever.rpm but it should work just fine. it does for me.
Ahhh, I see. Instead of asking, I should have just tried it. Silly me. I've been using rpm to install naked rpms; big mistake. Maybe I'll uninstall VirtualBox and reinstall it the righter way. Or even the rightest way -- Jimmy pointed out that they DO have a yum repo (I missed this when grabbing the original RPM). Then I'll get the updates as well.
ps: Hi Rob!
Hello right back at ya! Hope things are going well for you. The last couple of Fedora installs have been silky smooth (except for things OUTSIDE of Fedora, e.g. vmware) and I've been mentally attributing this to your genius cleaning things up. My last install was also the
fastest<< RPM-based install I've had in a decade, and it didn't need
to do a full post-install update on top of the install. Yum is even faster than ever as well. Good job, that. rgb
