→Selecting Installation of Linux Guest Additions
After the installation is complete, the system will need to be rebooted before the guest additions will become operational.
== Selecting Selected Installation of Linux Guest Additions ==
The default behavior of the Linux VirtualBox guest additions is to install all the components. Select components may be installed by running the installation script (either VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run or sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run) with one or more of a number of command line options, for example:
* '''Control''' - Installs the ''VBoxControl'' commandline management tool.
* '''help''' - Displays summary information of the above and other command line options. == Recompiling the Linux Guest Addition Kernel Modules == To rebuild the VirtualBox Guest Additions Linux kernel modules, mount the guest additions CD-ROM ISO image if it is not already mounted, change directory to the mount point and run one of the following commands: * For 32-bit Linux guests: <pre>sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run setup</pre> * For 64-bit Linux guests: <pre>sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run setup</pre> == Updating the Linux VirtualBox Guest Additions == The VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on a guest operating system may be updated by mounting the latest VBoxGuestAdditions.iso image file and repeating the above installation process.
