I can not find / download the guest additions iso:
1. I choose "Downloads" on the left column
2. I choose "VirtualBox 2.2.0 for Linux hosts"
what next? is maybe guest-additions obsolete for 2.2.0?
pls advise

The GA are shipped with the PUEL version of VB. For the OSE, it's in your package manager as a separate package. It should be mounted when you hit Devices > Install Guest Additions in your VM.

Less experienced users should also read the manual, which states just that. And there is also the Forum Posting Guide you didn't read (I guess), 'cause if you did, then you would have searched the forums for the question and found out about this without the need to post at all.
