I made some progress, but was stuck in the Guest Additions installation.
Following was what I did:
1. in console mode as root.
2. > dhclient eth0
*this seems enabling the network adapter, since my VM hasn't connected
to Internet previously.
3. >yum groupinstall "X Window System"
*this connects to Internet, and install the X Windows package
4. >startx
* this gave following message:
...
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context : unknown error (null)
...
5. I clicked "Devices-->Install Guest Additions...", but I can't find the
mounted file.
Where should it be ?
