Yes, I know it's in the user manual. I also know to check it whenever I make a change. My point being is that some folks, particularly those new to Vbox may not know this when upgrading. A simple note on the site download page, or as a minimum in the release notes/changelog page would be most helpful. Further, doing so (putting a note on the website) is likely to help reduce trouble reports on your side... User: my guest is not doing xyz with 2.1.x Vbox: which guest additions do you have installed? User: don't know, oh wait, let me check. I see that I have 1.6.x is that OK? Vbox: No, you need to install Guest Additions 2.1.x User: well I've been upgrading since 1.6.x and nobody told me that I also had to upgrade the Guest Additions... _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
