Well, when I needed to install Guest Additions for XP, I choose it from the menu. The ISO mounts and autostarts. I've not tried with a non-Windows guest, but I would expect the ISO would be made visible by the server. You can also mount the (any) ISO as a CD. But even when Guest Additions can't be installed, can you share the folder as either a Unix or Samba share? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
