Installing VirtualBox Addition in Backtrack 4 Final

I run ubuntu linux and Win XP and BT4 in the Virtual environment using VirtualBox OSE. There was no problem installing VirtualBox Guest Addition in XP, however, I had problem installing it in Backtrack 4 so I tried few things and finally was successful to solve it. And I thought to share with you as it might help you as well.


Just enter the following commands one after another in the terminal(konsole in BT 4) and you're done.

- mkdir /vboxguest

- mount /dev/hdc /vboxguest

- cd /vboxguest

- ./VBoxLinuxAddition-x86.run

- reboot

After the reboot, you'll see the VirtualBox Guest Addition working properly for your BT4 installation. Hope this helps.
