Ahhh, I see. Instead of asking, I should have just tried it. Silly me.
I've been using rpm to install naked rpms; big mistake.
Maybe I'll uninstall VirtualBox and reinstall it the righter way. Or
even the rightest way -- Jimmy pointed out that they DO have a yum repo
(I missed this when grabbing the original RPM). Then I'll get the
updates as well.

Hello right back at ya! Hope things are going well for you. The last
couple of Fedora installs have been silky smooth (except for things
OUTSIDE of Fedora, e.g. vmware) and I've been mentally attributing this
to your genius cleaning things up. My last install was also the
>>fastest<< RPM-based install I've had in a decade, and it didn't need
to do a full post-install update on top of the install. Yum is even
faster than ever as well.
Good job, that.
