<h4>Installing Guest Additions</h4>
Bodhi comes with generic virtual box support pre-installed. Before you install the official virtual box guest additions you need to remove these. Do so by running the command:
<pre>sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*</pre>
After this command completes select the <em>Devices</em> menu and then <em>Insert Guest Additions CD Image</em>:

This will add a Guest Additions link to your desktop. Open the folder with a double click and use the right click context menu to launch a terminal in the current directory:
