Okay, maybe the piece of cake was a little larger than what I remember :-)
I actually went to
http://www.virtualbox.org, downloaded the package for
Fedora and did a yum localinstall
which was the correct thing to do as, the last time i looked, there is
no yum repository for VirtualBox. perhaps those folks could be convinced
to set one up, and provide a yum repo file for it?
