Hi to all. This is my 1st post here. I'm a newbie to Fedora but have some Linux experience (Ubuntu).
My setup-
iMac OSX 10.6.2
Running Fedora 12 64bit on VirtualBox 3.1.4.
Got a error trying to install Guest additions in Fedora as guest.
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules [FAILED]
(Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Read an earlier post in this forum that said there was a kernel mis match that caused the problem.
Typed in uname -r & rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort as suggested in the other post & it looks like I have a mismatch, too. But, as I'm new to Fedora, I'm not sure how to install or upgrade the kernel. I just finished a hugh update after the Live CD install.
BTW I did something wrong using terminal & got a warning that said I was reported. Huh? I thought Ubuntu's commands would work. Wrong about that one as they are very different! Am I going to jail?;)
I appreciate all suggestions.:)
