VBoxGuestAdditions.iso mounted; no VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

[kynnjo]

I'm trying to follow the instructions given here.

Host: Linux
Guest: Linux

So far:

1. Started the guest
2. Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image
3. log in to guest as root

Along the bottom of the VM there's a CD icon. If I hover over it, it says

Indicates the activity of the CD/DVD devices:
IDE
IDE Primary Master: /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

The instructions say that at this point I should

3. Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:

Code: Select all

sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

One is left to figure out/divine where the CD-ROM drive is mounted

I can't find it.

Can someone point me to the documentation on how to find "where [my] CD-ROM drive is mounted"?



Things I've tried (all within the guest):

1. There's nothing under /opt
2. There's nothing under /media/cdrom
3. There's nothing under /media/cdrom0
4. If I run (as root)
   

   Code: Select all

   find / -name VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

   ...there is no output; i.e., the file is not found.

If you do not see the file then you probably need to mount the virtual cd/dvd yourself. See the instructions close to the bottom of the guide.
