I've just installed the latest 4.2.1 VBox on my iMac OS 10.6.8. I am going to run guest Linux. Besides, I need some communication between host and guest. According documentation, the "Guest Additions" solves the problem.
So, I wanted to install it into my guest using OTN. However, the download page has warning: for 4.2.0 only. Will it work with the latter(?) 4.2.1?
Please help.

Yes, it will work. v4.2.1 is a Mac-only minor bugfix. The GAs are for everyone.
