The following steps were successful (for me) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
echo "app-emulation/virtualbox-bin additions dvitool" >> \ |
| 4 |
/etc/portage/package.use |
| 5 |
emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-bin # here 1.3.8-r1 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
create the virtual machine (WinXP in my case) as described |
| 8 |
and install (here) WinXP SP2 and power off (the VM) after the complete |
| 9 |
install. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
### just examples ......................vvvvv...........vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
| 12 |
vboxmanage sharedfolder add WinXP -name linux -hostpath /MySharedFolder |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Then start virtualbox again, |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
click on Details CD/DVD-ROM |
| 17 |
there on Mount CD/DVD |
| 18 |
Some fiddling about "ISO Image File" leads to |
| 19 |
add |
| 20 |
/opt/VirtualBox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso |
| 21 |
Then click on "ISO Image File" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Now boot the virtual machine. |
| 24 |
There you find VBoxGuestAdditions as an |
| 25 |
additional (CD) drive. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Click on it to start installing the additional |
| 28 |
drivers from Virtualbox. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Restart Windows and then |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
execute cmd |
| 33 |
and there |
| 34 |
### for my example vvvvv |
| 35 |
net use x: \\vboxsvr\linux |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
and voila, it seems to work! |
