Notes for Guest Additions after installing Linux on Oracle VM Box.
Downloaded the .iso image from here :
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.6/
" Guest Additions
are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine
after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of
device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating
system for better performance and usability."
Check your version of virtualbox to match the guest additions i.e. for me 5.2.6
Rather than create a virtual cdrom drive for the .iso file used WinSCP to copy onto
Linux machine. From that directory used the following :
[root@collabn1 guest]# mount -o loop VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.6.iso /guest_additions
[root@collabn1 guest]# cd /guest_additions
[root@collabn1 guest_additions]# ls -la
total 49579
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 2226 Jan 15 13:59 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 27 root root 4096 Feb 25 14:05 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 480 Jan 15 13:59 32Bit
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 480 Jan 15 13:59 64Bit
etc....
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10275944 Jan 15 13:53 VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe
[root@collabn1 guest_additions]#
You can run the guest additions from there.

If like me you don't wan't to be sitting watching videos when you would rather be working -
the podcasts from Command Line Heroes could be for you.
Just put your headphones on and learn loads of things that you probably did not know.
I especially liked the podcast on Agile.
