41 Hi,
42
43 i know i am a bit late, but today i had the same problem with shared
44 folders under Virtualbox. It seems that shared folders only work with
45 virtualbox-bin and additions use flag.
46
47 I tried it with the source ebuild and installed additions but without
48 success.

50 Anyway, this thread points me to the right direction, thanks!

52 Regards,
