Hi i have installed Puppy in Virtualbox and i use Ubuntu as host.
Now i want to ask if it is possible to install the guest additions?
When i try it i get the message that i have to install the gnu compiler
but if i do this the same error shows up.

It would be nice if someone can help me... Very Happy

I tried with Puppy 3.01 running within Windows XP. I got the devx and kernel SFS files and got an error stating that something was compiled with a different kernel version than what was detected, or something like that.

So it is not possible to run Puppy with the guest additions ?

I bet it is somehow possible. I believe the message spit out said that "gcc" was miscompiled. I don't know what to make of that. One would expect the devx and kernel SFS files to match up with everything in Puppy 3.01.
