Guest additions install from command line
Posted: 9. Mar 2009, 23:06
I'm don't know Linux very well so I apologize in advance...
I am running Virtual Box 2.1 on Ubuntu 8.1 Server and need to do everything from the command line. I am trying to update my Windows XP guest additions...
I've done countless searching but I'm still stuck and am here as a last resort. I believe I need to mount the guest additions ISO using the "VBoxManage controlvm dvdattach" command, however my problem lies in the fact that I have no idea where the guest additions ISO is or where to get it from.
I cannot find an additions folder as mentioned in the manual, and if I truly don't have it, I have no clue where to get the additions from. Everything I've read says it should have been included with the install.
Any and all help is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
