I'm a bit confused--you mean VirtualBox is running on the Windows machine, you have a Fedora guest, and you wish to install the guest additions for Fedora?

Oh darn, thought you mentioned Fedora 11.
You may not get any rpm installed, Fedora 9 is no longer supported with yum.
You need to Fedora 11 or Fedora 12 whenever that is released.

Well that did not help, honestly I'm not sure whether the Guest additions would be supported or not but if anything has any other idea how to change the resolution on Fedora that would be great (please explain steps because I'm not that friendly with this version of Linux) thank you very much. And its for FEDORA 11.

In that Fedora session, start your terminal:
Code:
su -
yum install system-config-display
system-config-display
