Virtualbox, Fedora 11, and VBoxAdditions

If you are getting this error “Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel” when installing vboxadditions on a Fedora VM here is how you fix it:

yum install kernel-devel-2.6.29*

**You have to replace the above kernel build number with the one that the error spit out or it won’t work. Mine just happened to be 2.6.29**
