  * If you get a message saying '''"!VirtualBox kernel driver not accessible, permission problem"''' when starting !VirtualBox immediately after installation, make sure that your user account is a member of the `vboxusers` group. This group is created when !VirtualBox is installed, but you will need to manually add all users to it who are to be allowed to run !VirtualBox. The documentation accompanying your Linux distribution should provide information about how to do this. If not, the following should also work on most Linux systems. These commands should be run as the Administrator user from the command line.

  * Installing the guest on '''fixed size''' disk images. Until version 1.5.4, !VirtualBox creates a sparse file if the user selects 'fixed size' when creating a virtual disk image. That means that the file is created and its length on the real hard disk is defined but the file content is still not allocated. When trying to install a guest OS on this image, the first write accesses to a sector in the middle of the image will be delayed for a long time on Windows hosts. This might confuse the guest and make installing a guest impossible (for example, '''creating a partition fails'''). Starting with !VirtualBox 1.5.6 we will write the whole file once during creation. Users of current versions should select a ''dynamically expanding'' image which does not have this limitation.
