Extension Pack not really needed? #92

Had the Oracle Extension Pack installed when setting up a 10.14 Mojave and a 10.15 Catalina VMs, as required by this script.

But was able to have them run properly for many weeks without an Extension Pack. I think I only had to downgrade the USB controller to USB 1.1 (OHCI) Controller for them.

Just a FYI… Maybe worth adding an entry to README? Not sure if the installation would also work without the Extension Pack, but that would be great.

Last time I checked the extension pack is needed for mouse/keyboard support.

Had these VMs running with latest VirtualBox 6.0 under macOS 10.15 and with latest VirtualBox 5.2 under Ubuntu 18.04. No issues at all running them and using mouse and keyboard to connect. I guess USB 1.1 is good enough.
