No, this is being worked on (but with no time estimate available).

I'm afraid that you will have to mount it yourself if it doesn't get automounted. Just mount it like you would mount any CD in Ubuntu. > 3. I'm a little confused about host <-> guest networking.

[Disclaimer: I'm not very hot on networking.] You assign the IP you want your host to have (if any) to the bridge interface, the IP you want your guest to have to the guest's eth0 and no IP at all to the host's eth0 or to the tap0/vbox0 interface. I hope that was what you meant :) Regards, Michael _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
