Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: How remove VirtualBox installed from VirtualBox page running .run file

I use:

bash-3.2# /root/VirtualBox-2.0.0-36011-Linux_x86.run uninstall
bash: /root/VirtualBox-2.0.0-36011-Linux_x86.run: Ðказано в доÑÑÑпе
bash-3.2# /root/VirtualBox-2.0.0-36011-Linux_x86.run uninstall
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation........
VirtualBox Version 2.0.0 (2008-09-03T18:35:27Z) installer
Uninstalling VirtualBox
VirtualBox has been removed successfully.
bash-3.2#

It removed from /opt Virtualbox directory, but not removed lines from /etc/rc.local:

#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
#


# Start vboxdrv
# If you do not wish this to be executed here then comment it out,
# and the installer will skip it next time.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv ]; then
    /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv start
fi

# Start vboxnet
# If you do not wish this to be executed here then comment it out,
# and the installer will skip it next time.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxnet ]; then
    /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxnet start
fi

Maybe I something wrong made?

Thanks.
