Hi;

  I've installed Debian Jessie RC1 as a VirtualBox Guest OS.

  I'd like to be able to expand the size of the window, therefore I
need to install the Guest Additions.  The compilation fails due to not
being able to find the Linux kernel sources.  I have no idea where my
Linux kernel source is (probably I did not install it).  I do not know
what directory path to provide for KERN_DIR.

  I thought earlier versions of the Guest Additions would provide more
definitive hints to resolve Guest Additions build failures; perhaps
those were for different platforms.

  I don't have networking set up yet (no scp) and I am unable to
copy&paste so the only other option I can see for me to add more
information to this request for assistance is to use a mac screenshot
(my VirtualBox host is Mac Book Pro running Yosemite).

  The output of dpkg -l | grep kernel seems strange (way too few debs
in my opinion) and the results of apt-cache search kernel does not
seem very helpful.

  I'm more used to using Ubuntu as my VirtualBox Guest OS, this is my
first Debian install under VirtualBox.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
