Once you have the guest OS booted up, check the Devices dropdown and
mount the CD/guestAdditions.iso.

Yeah, tried that before posting, no joy.


then you have to install from a terminal session

mount /dev/scd0 /media (or whatever)

cd /media (or whatever)

sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

Problem was, The drive apparently would not mount so I could not get
there.


Replied in the ubuntu newsgroup, but just in case you missed it, DSL
installed and guest additions ISO mounted into /cdrom OK here.


Yeah, I would think that I will need to get build-essential installed
before I can even try to get it working, but I could not even mount the
damn iso :(

You will need build-essential....that was the point where I stop for
today as I didn't have them either. The script will run up to a point
and then tell you to install build-essential. :-)
