VirtualBox Tips and Tricks - Installing Guest Additions

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/VirtualBox/CentOSguest

The trick here is in finding Devices.  Devices is actually in the VM window - not the host manager window! If you don't know this, you may find yourself tripping through all of the host menus and submenus trying to find the "Install Guest Additions" prompt.

Obviously you need to have the ISO mounted.

So again:

Copy Guest Additions iso to the VM
Go to the VM window, choose "Optical Drive" and mount that ISO.
Then go to Devices, Insert Guest Manager CD Image
Lastly, choose Install Guest Additions (once CD is loaded) - also from Devices on the VM.
