[SOLVED] installing binary version of virtualbox

[drhadidy]

Hi all...
i need to install the binary version of VirtualBox as i need the USB support.
i usd to do that in KDE using "kpakckage"... now im trying E-17 and wonder if there is another application there that can do that?? or a command for example??
if not ill just have to install kpackage again... but just in case!!
thx alot

kpackage is just a GUI front end of a CLI program call "rpm".

If you arent allergic to the terminal, have your virtuabox rpm file as the only file with a ".rpm" extension to it in a folder and then press "F4" to bring up the terminal while your file manager has focus and type the following command and enter root's password when asked to install it

su -c "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"

that was as easy as a pie:-)
thx alot
