Downloaded and updated nicely from the repository (deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy non-free). Came up fine (still sucks CPU). However the guest addition is still at 2.0.6 (Windows 2Kpro guest). Probably would be a good idea to post a note on the download page that the guest additions must be updated manually. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
