<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your replies.<br>
</div>
I refer to Osgeo-Live 8 open source version and
particularly to the instructions here: <a

I have followed all the steps till "In the VirtualBox
window, open the <em>Devices</em> menu and click <em>Install
Guest Additions</em>. This will mount the Guest
Additions as a CD drive in your OSGeo Live VM." because
in my case it doesn't mount the guest addition stuff.<br>

Hi Madi<br>
I use this option to mount UBS drives in virtualbox VMs all the
time. After installing the guest additions, it seems to work fine.<br>
I just now double checked in a OSGeo Live 8.0 VM. The "Guest
Additions CD" was mounted as expected (Windows host) and after
installing, a USB disk is recognized with no trouble.<br>
<br>
Did you mention that your host machine is Fedora? I noticed this
