Iv been using virtual box for a wile now (ubuntu host 9.04, vbox 3.0.4), I usually have a few guests running for creating small networks.
However my current work will require me to create a much lager network of vbox guests.
So I started using Damn Small Linux as the guest os (thinking that it will take up less resources, allowing me to run more guests), it installed to hard disk fine.
And I downloaded the kernel headers and gcc and installed them with no problems. But I cannot get the guest additions to install, every time it fails with:
Code: Select all

for more details.
Problems were found which would prevent the Guest Additions from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.
