Any chance that you could make the spec files downloadable? The OSE builds easily and without error but it would be nice to compile it into an RPM. The release directory structure of the OSE is inconsistent with the release RPM (Fedora).
I guess that I could author a spec but why re-do and test what has already been done?
BTW, great stuff. Runs Windoze and Linux distros without so much as a hiccup. Great for testing. Simpler than Xen and almost as fast as UML.

Test .spec file for VirtualBox-OSE on CentOS
I'd also like to see a spec file for the OSE version. I've managed to make one for both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5. It makes use of dkms to automatically build the vboxdrv module for the running kernel.
It works for me, but I haven't updated it for VirtualBox 1.5.2.
Another issue is that the runtime RPM requires xalan and xerces-c, and it'd be nice if these were linked in (like the PEUL version). My .spec file also needs to be cleaned up (see the README on my web page).
