Vista[Host]-ubuntu[Guest]-Install/uninstall Guest Additions?

Hi,

Using new VirtualBox 3.0.0.
1st install of ubuntu locked up during installation.
(Configuring apt - Scanning the mirror...)
2nd install of ubuntu became unusable when installing Guest Additions.
(using some instructions I find on Internet from 3rd party)
EDIT:
3rd install of ubuntu locked up during installation.
(Configuring apt - Scanning the mirror...)

Host is Vista Ultimate 32bit and guest is ubuntu Linux 9.04 32bit.
What is correct method to install Guest Additions on ubuntu Virtual Machine?
Also, how would I uninstall Guest Additions on ubuntu Virtual Machine?

Hoping someone can explain the two questions above or provide good links to proper instructions.

Thanks...
