virtualbox

The VirtualBox Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability.

Installation
Mount the Additions ISO file on the host:

OS X host - the additions ISO, VBoxGuestAdditions.iso is located within the VirtualBox application package (probably /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/. You can access that from the Finder by right-clicking on the VirtualBox application and selecting Show Package Contents.

In the guest's virtual machine, select "Mount CD/DVD-ROM" from the "Devices" menu in the virtual machine's menu bar and then "CD/DVD-ROM image". This brings up the Virtual Media Manager. On OS X, the easiest way to add the ISO is to drag VBoxGuestAdditions.iso onto the Virtual Media Manager window from the Finder.

CentOS Linux
Install the kernel development packages:

yum -y install kernel sources yum -y install kernel-devel

Restart the VM

reboot

Once it reboots, go the VBox Additions directory and run the Linux additions installer:

cd /media/ sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Reboot the system again:

reboot
