Phil, your procedure from the wiki worked for me. However, the last tar command listed should be

cd ~/TMP2/
tar jcvf ../TMP/VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2
cd ~/TMP
./install.sh

instead of tar jtvf.

Thanks for the great wiki!!

-Antony

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

Thanks for the correction. Copy/paste from the wrong line.

# cd ~/TMP2/
# tar jcvf ../TMP/VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2

OK - hopefully 3rd time's the charm. Fixed the fix. Thanks.
