Yes. See the user manual section 4 for a description what benefit the guest additions provide. > What functionality is missing from the FreeBSD guest additions? That's a question for the FreeBSD guys. > If so, will the FreeBSD port: > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additi >ons/ work in both OSE and the commercial version? Do the guest additions > versions and release version have to correspond for this to work properly? They will work on both, the OSE version and the PUEL version as both provide the same interface. And the interface is backward-compatible, that is, older guest additions will work on never VBox versions. Never additions should also work on older VBox releases although the latter is not 100% guaranteed. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
