For the guest additions, boot up your Mint Debian VM and when loaded, click machine > install guest additions.

I can't remember the exact location, but you'll figure it out; it's on one of the VM's dropdown menus.

A .iso will mount as a software CD on your LMDE desktop. Browse the folder, and run in terminal the one that matches your machine.

I guess you should run the guest additions installer as root. I cant' remember.

Yes I had to go into filesystem media cdrom open in terminal and enter sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run enter my password and MAGIC!Im still not to good with the terminal but its a must in some instances! And Im really liking this distro might have to jump to this seems really nice!
