virtualbox-ose-guest-utils is for installation inside the guest and thus only
for Debian guests. You can get the Windows guest utils either from the internet
or by installing virtualbox-guest-additions to the host which will install the
same iso image as downloadable from the internet. Then you can install the
guest utils from this CD image.
Thank you, but I still do not fully understand.
So virtualbox-ose-guest-utils is to be installed on guest. As it is a
debian package, it is to be installed (it works) only on Debian guests.
Then why is it about "non-X11 guest utilities", since the Debian guest
is a X11 system? On Debian guest, only virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 should
exist.
