Hi, i know i am a bit late, but today i had the same problem with shared folders under Virtualbox. It seems that shared folders only work with virtualbox-bin and additions use flag. I tried it with the source ebuild and installed additions but without success. Anyway, this thread points me to the right direction, thanks! Regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
