I just had a look at the instructions at

but they refer to earlier versions of openSUSE.

Are the instructions shown at this URL still relevant to 11.2 (and its
kernel)?

It is all the same for 11.2 as it was for 10.3, but you are right, it needs
update.


It is? I'd say that for at least the downloaded RPM it's not the same...

I've installed it this way:
1. Download the VirtualBox RPM from the virtualbox.org website
2. zypper install <vbox RPM>
3. Add my user to the vboxusers group
4. Log out/log in

That's it. USB works.. everything works. No messing with fstab
