That's kind of a strange thing with VPC 6.  It seems to me Windows 98 
that little dialog popped up right away.  When I put Windows 2000 in, 
it never did pop up.  In Windows 98 the VPC Additions show up on the 
CDROM drive with no disc in the drive.  So I set the D:\ drive as 
shared in Win98, configured networking so I could network the 98 and 2K 
installs with both running simultaneously, then accessed the shared D:\ 
drive on Windows 98 from Win 2K thru the virtual network.  Worked great 
- installed the additions over the virtual network, rebooted Win2K, and 
life was good.  I never have figured out how to get the additions 
installed in linux.  If anybody has figured that out, I'd appreciate 
hearing how it was done.

Before I put the additions in Windows 2000 with the virtual network, I 
searched for a menu option in VPC6 to do just that.  I never found one. 
  Apparently, it is supposed to be totally automatic.  Of course, I 
never RTFM either :-)
