virtualbox

I created a virtual machine using VirtualBox 3.2 and Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64. Everything works fine. I logged in. I mounted the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file. However, I can't for the life of me find where in the operating system this was done so I can get the additions installed. I've tried /media, /cdrom, /mnt, etc...

I'm obviously new at this. Can someone help figure out how to install the guest additions and how to locate the mounted file?

Thanks.
