VirtualBox CentOS Guest OS: Fix FullScreen Mode Resolution

# Useful in resolving problem with Full Screen resolution in CentOS/VirtualBox
# Installing Guest Additions should resolve the issue

yum install kernel sources

yum install gcc

yum install kernel-devel

# if uname -r shows PAE release e.g 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5PAE then install kernel-PAE-devel

yum install kernel-PAE-devel

# run the guest addition installer

sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

# Use System->Administration->Display to set the desired resolution; Reboot.
