Description
Similar to bug #106 Guest Additions for Linux cannot be uninstalled.
This is quite serious problem since in some cases they can kill fully working X Server, and turn it's configuration into garbage.
For example, installing VBox 2.2.2 Guest Additions into RHEL 3 or RHEL 4 VMs turns their X server into non-usable garbage with huge resolution.
In this case I want to have ability to uninstall it at will.

In VirtualBox 3.1, how do you uninstall Guest Additions from a Linux guest? Thanks.

After you installed the 3.1 additions you can uninstall them by executing /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions*/uninstall.sh

Or running the installer with "uninstall" at the end of the command line.
OOps... I meant similar to bug #107.
I could not find uninstall feature in User's Manual and not via Guest Addition's "--help" parameter either. I presume it does not exist.
