ROSA as VirtualBox host

hung.nguyengia

VirtualBox 6.0 is outdated and no longer supported. The Guest Additions ISO is not included with VirtualBox itself, has to be downloaded from the internet. The download of this ISO is always failed, seemed because this VirtualBox version is EOL-ed so the link moved. The result is I can't install the needed Guest Additions for my Windows 7 Guest and it runs with degraded experience without the Guest Additions.

Could I keep this repo? The last command seems about removing it.

Yes, but why? You can add it at any time again.

Do you think I install it once and never update again? Keeping the repo I could receive new updates from it if there is any. On Ubuntu/Debian, we rarely remove a repo once we added it.
