If anyone finds themselves reading this because of the same need for a bigger screen.
This apparently does NOT work if you are running a 32 Bit client on a 64 Bit host.
Start VBox
Boot your client OS.
Click on Devices in the upper left corner.
Click Install Guest Additions.
This will place a disk on your virtual desktop.
Open a terminal.
Enter the following codes.
If you are using 64Bit host.
Code:
sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
If you are using 32Bit host.
Code:
sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
Once the install is done you will have to restart the client and then you will have a much larger view.
