CentOS下安装VMware tool详解
一、首先，在VM10中选择安装
这样会在centos中安装一个cdrom,具体的路径为:/media/root/VMware Tools,上面有个VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz的文件包。
二、解压缩VMware Tools。
[root@Shaoxing ~]# cd /media/VMware\ Tools/ 进入光驱
[root@Shaoxing VMware Tools]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz -C /tmp/ 解压缩tar包到/tmp 下
[root@Shaoxing VMware Tools]# cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/ 进入/tmp
