Gentoo安装VMwareTools

1. VMware的菜单【VM】->【Install VMware Tools】（也可以在Virtual Machine Settings的Hardware标签下的CD/DVD下使用install-path-to-vmware/linux.iso）

2. # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   失败？不要急。。。

看到/dev下没有cdrom，这时

# cat /proc/diskstats有没有看到hdc？

接着

# mkdir /mnt/cdrom

# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

# ls /mnt/cdrom这下应该可以看到vmware-tools了。。。

3. 安装VMwareTools

# cd path-to-vmware-tool

# tar -zxvf VMwareTools-x.x.x-x.tar.gz

# mkdir /etc/init.d/rc{0..6}.d// Create a set of empty rc directories to fool the tools installer

# cd vmware-tools-distrib

# ./vmware-install.pl

# rc-update add vmware-tools default// add vmware tools to startup

Enjoy!
