What is the font name used on screens: “Check Kernel Headers in CentOS 7” and “Install Kernel Headers in CentOS 7”? It’s really nice.

@Ravi

I studied that article, but it is not adding anything new, that solves the problem.
I guess I found an answer to my problem:

https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15537

I did finalize my install scripts and will have to wait until sources come available I guess.

In reply to Erik Luppes. @Erik, I understand your concerns, for installing VirtualBox Guest additions on CentOS 7, I suggest you to follow this article.. How to Install VirtualBox Guest Additions in CentOS

@Ravi,

I’m using CentOS 7.6.1810

This is my install script :

yum install deltarpm wget -y
yum update -y
yum install epel-release -y
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
yum install kernel-devel -y
yum --enablerepo=epel install perl gcc dkms kernel-headers make bzip2 mc nano -y

I also tried installing headers first and devel later, but this makes no difference.

Everything gets installed, but there is no build folder.

(If you look at the screenshot in above article, there is no Build folder)
