Hi I am trying to install Virtualbox 4.3.8 on my SL6.3. The installation seems to be OK
# rpm -ivh VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.8_92456_el6-1.x86_64.rpm warning: VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.8_92456_el6-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 98ab5139: NOKEY Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:VirtualBox-4.3 ########################################### [100%] Creating group 'vboxusers'.
