VirtualBox OSE in Mandriva 2007 Spring - Mandriva

This is a discussion on VirtualBox OSE in Mandriva 2007 Spring - Mandriva ; I installed Windows Vista under VirtualBox OSE in Mandriva 2007 Spring. I then wanted to install the Guest Additions, but the iso image could not be found. Is it on another place? Anyone successfully installed Guest Additions?...

Default VirtualBox OSE in Mandriva 2007 Spring

I installed Windows Vista under VirtualBox OSE in Mandriva 2007 Spring.
I then wanted to install the Guest Additions, but the iso image could
not be found. Is it on another place? Anyone successfully installed
Guest Additions?

The Additions iso is not included in the Open Source edition.

If you download the latest Debian package from the Vbox web site,
you can extract the iso from that package.

I uninstalled the OSE version and installed the full version downloaded
from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads: the rpm for Mandriva
2007.1. I could not use my installed virtual machine from OSE in the
full version. I installed a Windows XP as Vista has no support for
network card. Installing Guest Additions went fine on XP. It works just
great!
