Im installing Intrepid in a VM (VirtualBox) and everything is working just fine until I attempt to install the guest additions. Apparently the headers are not available for 2.6.24-18-generic do I need to enable any special repos or is this just a "wait and see if the get uploaded" situation?

I'm guessing it's a wait and see game :)

Did you check hardy-proposed?

.24-18 wont appear in intrepid, it wont be uploaded.Infact .24-17 isnt in either.Devel versions use the kernel the previous distro ships with untill a build of the kernel thats going to be used in that version is available.(.26)

If you want the current .26 kernel avilable then have a look at the kernel teams ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive (https://launchpad.net/%7Ekernel-ppa/+archive)

I expect a .26 kernel to appear soon in the repos.

Also you could have a look at the kernel teams git repo, to clone the repo then type that into a kernel:

git-clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git
