This is a step by step tutorial on how to get VirtualBox 3 up and running on Fedora 12. Specifically, this guide was written using the VirtualBox 3.2.12 version and an i386 CPU (32-bit), but should work with all versions. It can be adapted to upcoming versions and different CPUs (64-bit). The folks at VirtualBox have made it easy to install for Fedora users and I’m going to show you how in a few easy steps. Right, open a terminal window and let’s get to it.
There are two options for install: <br />1. '''VirtualBox repo:''' If you are selective or do not install Fedora updates, this is not the option for you. It will result in installation of ALL Fedora updates that your HDA requires.<br />
2. '''VirtualBox RPM:''' This will only install the RPM and any required dependencies or dependency updates your HDA requires. It is much faster and will not force ALL Fedora updates like Option 1.
