    Virtual Screen Size

    Is there any way to make the virtual screen fill the screen or is this it?

    I am using the VirtualBox 3.0.6 on Jaunty 64 Bit.

    Thanks for any and all help.

    Did you install the VirtualBox Guest Additions?

    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.
    Code:
    cd /media/cdrom
    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.
