CentOS6.3安装VBoxAdditions

CentOS6.3是安装在VirtualBox虚拟机上，安装好以后最好再将VBoxAdditions增强功能装上，主要目的是能够在虚拟机和宿主机之间能够共享文件。

1. 更新内核。CentOS 6.3对应的kernel默认为2.6.32-279.el6.i686：

# uname -r

2.6.32-279.el6.i686

安装增强功能需要kernel-devel包，必须保证kernel-devel和kernel版本的一致。查看软件源中kernel-devel的版本：

]# yum info kernel-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

当前的kernel-devel版本是2.6.32-279.19.1.e16。因此，必须升级kernel：

# yum update kernel

升级完后必须重启系统，新的kernel才能被使用。

 

2. 安装kernel-devel和gcc。

# yum install kernel-devel gcc gcc-c++

 

3. 安装增强功能。进入增强功能光盘根目录，执行Linux下的安装命令：

# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
