Dunno how but I am certain it was via yum, but from where? I guess what I
need to
do is find the kmod/akmod version and install that. I'm sure the
kernel has been updated several times since VBox was installed. And I know
from experience that without the auto update feature I will have problems.
I wasted my money on a copy of VMware that became useless after most
kernel
updates, finally gave up trying to deal with that.
Tnx,
Bob

This sounds like you're just looking for *some* way to run a VM. Forgive
me if you've been asked before, but why not use the solution built in to
Fedora? QEMU/KVM do a great job and using virt-manager or GNOME Boxes is
easy.
I can point you to some documentation or help in a dedicated thread if you
are interested.
