How to install them? I would like to see a reproducible algorithm available to those who are not Linux gurus.

    If we put add-ons in Linux, we do it like this.

    1. Option-set from repositories (Each distre has its own methods and package managers)

    2. Step out of the image

    Go to superuser mode

    # su -# mount -o loop /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /mnt# cd mnt# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

    The image should already be in the system. It usually folds along the path /usr/share/virtualbox/. If not, then you need to put a package containing it.

    Well, or read http://www.lintest.ru/wiki/Virtual_Box_%28ALT_Linux%29
