Hi, I just downloaded VB to try out Ubuntu 8.10 on Vista Home Premium. Everything seems to be working fine so far but I can't get full screen. I have read around it has something to do with 'Install Guest Additions'. The thing is though, when I click this, nothing happens
Any help would be super, thanks.

Since you are using Ubuntu you are in luck!
Open Chapter 4.3.1 of the VBox users manual and it tells you exactly what you need to do.
You can find this by clicking on help and then contents in the VBox GUI.
Keep it handy because you are going to need it for other things.

Oh I forgot to mention: I'm not sure if OSE Debian is my VB version...?
It is 2.2.0 r45846...

Same thing.
Just open the manual and follow the bouncing ball as they say.

Why doesn't anyone look at the Linux Guests forum first, and post THERE? This is Windows Hosts, what the hell do the GA have to do with the Host? I'm locking this one, another question in the wrong place, and there is a nice howto in the other forum.
