    103 Starting with !VirtualBox 3.0.12 we provide a yum-style repository for Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE. Note that '''3.0.x''' .rpm packages are named ''!VirtualBox-3.0.x'' while '''3.1.x''' .rpm packages are named ''!VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.x''. This naming scheme allows to use the older 3.0.x packages without changing the repository.

    124124The package signature is checked by yum/zypper as well:
    125125 * Users of Fedora can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo the Fedora repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
    126  * Users of RHEL can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo the RHEL repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
     126 * Users of Oracle Linux/RHEL can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo the RHEL repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
    127127 * Users of openSUSE can add the proper repo file for [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/10.3/virtualbox.repo 10.3] (!VirtualBox 3.0.x only), [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.0/virtualbox.repo 11.0] (!VirtualBox 3.2.x only), [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.1/virtualbox.repo 11.1], [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.2/virtualbox.repo 11.2],[http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.3/virtualbox.repo 11.3] or [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.4/virtualbox.repo 11.4] to ''/etc/zypp/repos.d/''.
    128128'''Note:''' Users of Fedora/Mandriva might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package (not available on openSUSE) to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'', ''vboxnetflt'' and ''vboxnetadp'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next kernel update.
