VirtualBox RPM guest additions for SLES without X11

Post by arpi »

Hi
Is there any way to install SuSE Enterprise 11 guest additions (VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.10_72479_sles11.0-1.x86_64.rpm) without X11 on guest system?
I mean something similar to what --nox11 option does for VirtualBox-4.0.10-72479-Linux_amd64.run (which I don't want to use as it requires gcc, which I don't want)?

Cheers
A.

You're pointing to the main program, not the GA. There is no RPM package for the Guest Additions. Since you're talking in Linux Guests and mention Guest Additions, you're making no sense at all. You already got your --nox11 switch and even if you don't use it, the install will skip it anyway because it can't find X11 installed.
