Comment (by wenzeslaus):

 The text update for the part with Guest Additions should be something
 like:

 {{{
 Open the VirtualBox window, open the Devices menu and click Install Guest
 Additions.
 This will mount the Guest Additions as a CD drive in your OSGeo Live VM.

 Once the CD folder appears, open a terminal (from the bottom panel - there
 is a small
 greenish icon) and run the following commands (you type just the part
 after dollar and space,
 use tab to auto-complete):

 user at osgeolive:~$ sudo apt-get update

 It will ask for password, type 'user'.

 user at osgeolive:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-
 generic

 user at osgeolive:~$ cd /media/user/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.18_78361/

 user at osgeolive:/media/user/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.18_78361$ sudo
 ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

 This will complete after a few moments. Reboot your VM, and you will now
 be able
 to run in full screen mode, and mount your shared folders.
 }}}
