I have found several posts about the "Guest Additions warning" message. The question I have is whether there is anything I can do to keep my machine from automatically updating guest additions every time I build a new VM. It makes the build process extremely slow. Instead of taking 10 seconds to bring up a VM it takes several minutes as it downloads packages from ubuntu.com every time. Does anyone have any suggestions?
