I like that idea, but for now I'm still stuck trying to get guest additions working with Owl. I tried Owl-current today and I had compile errors building the guest additions. I copied the kernel and patch and applied the patch to the kernel source before trying to build the guest additions. Here is a snippet of what I tried and the output I got. echo "Install virtualbox guest additions" cd /usr/src/ unxz patch-308.11.1.el5.028stab102.1-combined.xz patch -p0 <patch-308.11.1.el5.028stab102.1-combined mv linux-2.6.18 linux cd /usr/src/linux yes "" | make oldconfig yes "" | make prepare yes "" | make modules_prepare cd ~ mount -o loop VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.22.iso /mnt sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run Output from the /var/log/vbox-install.log file: http://bpaste.net/show/65251/ The tail of the output is: In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:89:0, from /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.h:21, from /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:31: include/linux/pagemap.h: In function 'fault_in_pages_readable': include/linux/pagemap.h:227:16: warning: variable 'c' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c: In function 'sf_read_super_aux': /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:293:5: error: 'struct inode' has no member named 'u' /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c: In function 'sf_clear_inode': /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:361:12: error: 'struct inode' has no member named 'u' /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:368:5: error: 'struct inode' has no member named 'u' make[2]: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vbox.0] Error 2 make: *** [vboxsf] Error 2 At this point I'm at a loss. I'm not sure if I have the right source, or if VirtualBox Guest Additions are incompatible with Owl. Unless someone has an idea of what to try next, I'll probably just go with CentOS. I appreciate the help so far! DavidReceived on Tue Dec 18 2012 - 14:10:18 PST
