At first, please don't use all uppercase, that is considered as yelling, and it would be appreciated if you could use meaninfgul subjects for threads.
Also please use the support subforums, the MAQeia subforum is used to contain collection threads about frequently asked questions.

If you want to install virtualbox via commandline, as root:
Code: Select all
urpmi virtualbox

Updates will be provided via the repos.

If your question is about something different, please be more specific.

or click on the "Applications" tab of Mageia Welcome, then click on the "system" tab and then check the checkbox beside "Virtual box", and then the "install" button.

updates are provided via the updater=> a red icon with a ( ! ) in the system tray
how-ever you have to ok the update.
