Linux guest Additions and .dmg images? Input for doc. update

Post by GoGade »

Installed Virtualbox 3.1.4 from the .dmg image on OSX 10.6.2 - added the Ubuntu 9.10 and now just wanted to complete the installation with the Virtualbox guest additions, Looked in the manual and see that it requires the .iso image as source ... download again or?

I did find bits and pieces here and there on google on how to mount a .dmg image but not any complete and final description in the manual under 4.4.1 - it seems its all assuming iso images. Coming from Parallel Desktop 5 and just playing with the VB there is still a good path to walk, but as I am favoring free as in beer - I will remain ....
