The F15 nightly builds do not install well, firstboot never works, password for username has xauth issues, selinux , slow running or no responive gui, and so on.

I'm going to try the Dec-09 iso and Vbox-4 beta2 tonight.

F14 on vbox beta1 works good, as well as F13, RHL-5.5 clones.

later,

i would assume thats a Vbox problem not a fedora problem? would it be worth filing a Bug over on the Vbox Bugzilla? and have you tried Ubuntu11.04 on it?

That new extensions package caught me (and from googling, a lot of other folks too.)

So far, I've only played with it for a few minutes. Lately, for me, the last couple of VBox guests were noticeably slower than in VMware player. (And others have reported the exact opposite, so...)

There is no Vbox issue, even vbox-4-beta2 is out and works good.
I update the additions with each vbox bump and have had no problems.
De-bug test kernels will run much slower. But right now the f15 kernels are a bit jagged due to workload and writeback and video issues.

The issue is that the live iso for F15 works fine but the installed does not boot up(firstboot) or has problems completly getting to a running state.

Here again getting the Dec-10 f15 and some updates for f14/f15 updates.
