Any reason you are using VirtualBox instead of Fedora's own qemu/KVM
solution? This is the wrong list for fixing VirtualBox bugs.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my posting. I am not reporting problems
with VirtualBox. VirtualBox (from the .run file) is working fine for
installing and running OpenDesktop 5.07. Even bridging works,
allowing me to open NFS shares on the machine it is running on.
The problems are with the Fedora virtual machine manager which
is installed with "yum install @virtualization". (Except that that
Yum command often doesn't install some KVM functions.)
