Hello, Yoram,

I just installed VirtualBox onto an f10 system and was amazed at how 
easily/completely it was done, including setting up the user and 
appropriate devices.

I can't speak to any special requirements you may have, but for me it 
went without a hitch.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

There are fedora installs for 7 through 11.

The user manual is in .pdf; section 2.3 covers Linux installs.

Sun is to be credited for a job well done.

:m)
