Post by supremedalek »

How can I get the guest addition cd/iso if I am not using the virtualbox gui (VirtualBox)?

It's already shipped with the PUEL edition, so all you have to do, is know the location. Linux stores it in /usr/share/virtualbox/, Windows in the install folder.

Btw, update your profile so we know which version you're running, the Host and Guests you have, so we can give more directed answers.
