  • VirtualBox guest additiona

    From Peter Flass@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 23 17:51:24 2019
    I think I saw someone post about updating instructions for installing this. Does anyone have a link or instructions?

    Supposed you are not developing guest additions :-)

    0) In VBox Manager, you should have defined a (virtual) optical drive
    for your Guest VM.

    1) RTFM ;-) (for Win host here):
    "4.2.1.1 Installing the Windows Guest Additions
    In the _Devices menu_ in the virtual machines menu bar, Oracle VM
    VirtualBox has a menu item
    _Insert Guest Additions_ CD Image, which mounts the Guest Additions
    ISO file inside your virtual
    machine.* A Windows guest should then automatically start the Guest
    Additions installer, which
    installs the Guest Additions on your Windows guest.
    For other guest operating systems, or if automatic start of software
    on a CD is disabled, you
    need to do a manual start of the installer."

    2) In OS/2, open this (virtual) optical drive represented by the iso,
    change to "OS2" folger and follow the Readme instructions. You might
    better leave the libc* files untouched if you got their latest ones
    yourself by ANPM e.g.

    Have fun!

    Thanks a lot. One nice thing about a virtual disk is I can install it on a copy.
