VirtualBox Error

Hello all. Thank you for your time.

I tried installing VirtualBox from within FC9 by running the command wget http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1...ra8-1.i586.rpm && sudo rpm -ivh VirtualBox-1.5.4_27034_fedora8-1.i586.rpm and go the error below:

You've got unsatisfied dependencies - rpm is telling you what libraries need to be installed before you can install VirtualBox. I'm not familiar with Fedora but is VirtualBox not in repositories?

I'm a newbee and not sure how to check the repositories. Can you please walk me through the process?

You are using Fedora 9 and you are trying to download a Fedora 8 package..

Go here https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP...-F@CDS-CDS_SMI and select Fedora 9 (i386 or AMD64, whichever you use) next install it with su -c 'rpm -hiv rpm_name_here'

You might take a look at those guides also..
