Yes, only the 'personal use' version from SUN has USB support. Adding USB was fairly easy, but a bit of a faff. Having installed it from the SUN .deb, I had to download and install 'Guest Additions'. I then had to set up and enable USB support. There's a description (starts part-way down the page) here: http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-install-virtualbox-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron-with-usb-support-in-5-easy-steps.html I should say that I did this with VB 2.0.6; do you still need to use this procedure with later versions of VB? mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
