How to install virtual machine in fedora

[jeshrel]

Hi

I would like to install virtualbox or virtual machine on fedora 16

[nonamedotc]

Add the virtualbox repo - Found in the VirtualBox website and then

yum install VirtualBox-4.1

Also, the repository file (for convenience)

[virtualbox]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - VirtualBox
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc

nonamedotc - what should i do with the repository, and the lst time i tried installing virtualbox from terminal, i got installed but had issues loading a OS in it..

As root, just the put the contents (above) in a new file - /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo. After you have created the file,

yum install VirtualBox-4.1 dkms kernel-devel gcc

Some of these might already be installed in your system. If there are no errors, you should have VirtualBox installed. Post if you encounter some problems.

Nevermind - mis-read on my part.

Friends, could you please tell how to install a windows program using virtualbox?

[nonamedotc]

You would windows installed on Virtualbox already. If you want to install a windows program, try wine.
