Ok, I tried updating my Linux copy of VB at home. Had to de-install 3.1.8 first ( about a week old ). One thing that feels kind of weird is that you have to reboot the [real] machine before you can see the menu item for starting the VBox GUI.
Has anyone read the Terms and Conditions for Oracle VBox? It sounds like you agree to use it only for personal use, not commercial (except for short term evaluation). Very different from what I thought the previous agreement was. Of course, you get to re-install the Guest Additions after updating VB. --Don Ellis On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 4:23 PM, Don Ellis <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, Surprise!
