Re: Looking for help in configuring LilyDev in VirtualBox

I'm slowly working my way through CG Section 2.1, but have reached an impasse. 
In "Configuring LilyDev in VirtualBox". Step 1 tells me to "install Guest 
Addition...". That's been changed to "Insert..." but that's obvious. The 
VBoxGuestAdditions.iso CD is in the virtual drive, but it seems but there's no 
autorun, and clicking on it merely asks if I want to eject it.

I've now worked out how to mount the CD, and I followed the instructions in the 
VirtualBox FAQ page to install the missing bits. But when I try to install the 
Guest Additions it says they're already installed. has the LilyDev distro 
changed to include the Guest Additions? Because, if so, I can't get the shared 
clipboard to work, and that's rather necessary for my setup.



If someone could help I'd be most grateful. I realise that this mailing list 
isn't for support, but it seemed more relevant than the user mailing list.
