Problems with Small Window Size of Guest OS
I am running VB on Mac OSX with Ubuntu as the guest OS. Everything seems to work fine but the Ubuntu window only takes up a small part of the screen (it is centered) and I cannot resize. The Virtualbox window is fine and takes up the whole screen when maximized. Any thoughts?

Have you installed the guest additions?

No. I am not sure what they are or how to install them.
