I have installed VirtualBox 1.6 on a XP computer and then installed Linux Mint KDE Light within the VirtualBox. In attempting the next step of installing VirtualBox Linux Additions I have run into a no such file error. Attached is a screen shot of the error that I get in the Terminal trying to open the VBOXADDITIONS file. What do I need to do to correct this?
Thanks, Thomas
