VM Tools的安装

安装vm tools:
1 ）以ROOT 身份进入LINUX
2 ）按下 CTRL+ALT 组合键，进入 主操作系统，点击VMWARE 状 态栏安装提示，或者点击虚拟菜单下的安装虚拟机工具子菜单。
3 ）确认安装VMWARE TOOLS 。这时我们并没有真正的安装上了VMWARE TOOLS 软件 包，如果您点击菜单：DEVICES ， 您就会发现光驱的菜单文字变为：ide1 ：0-> C:/Program Files/VMware/VMware Workstation/Programs/linux.iso ，这表示VMWARE 将LINUX 的ISO 映象文件作为了虚拟机的光 盘
4 ）鼠标 点击LINUX 界 面，进入LINUX 。
5 ）运行如下命令，注意大小 写。 mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt 加载CDROM 设备，这时如果进入 /mnt 目录下，你将会发现多了一个文件：vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz 。 这就是WMWARE TOOLS 的LINUX 软件包，也就是我们 刚才使用WINISO 打 开LINUX.ISO 文 件所看到的。 cp /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz /tmp 将该软件包拷贝到LINUX 的 TMP 目录下。 umount /dev/cdrom 卸 载CDROM 。 cd /tmp 进入TMP 目录 tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz 解压缩该软件包，默认解压到vmware-tools-distrib 目录下（与文件名同名）。 cd vmware-linux-tools 进入解压后的目录这时要进入文本模式下运行下面的命令 ./install.pl 这 时install 提 示你是否需要备份以前的配置文件，建议选择“y” 。等待INSTALL 运行完成后，这时键入 STARTX 命令，启动LINUX 图形界面，vm 中不再提示没有安装虚拟机工具了.

完成后设置 一个在VMware 里 设置一个在windows 的 件夹, 作为LINUX 与WINDOWS 的共同文件.( 那样你可以在LINUX 里拷WINDOWS 的文件)
方法如下: 打开VMware -- CTRL+D---options----shared folders---Add
最好重启一下. 好了之后在linux 的/mnt 文件夹里就会有一个hgfs 的文件夹. 打开, 你会发现LINUX 的乐趣!

有个文件， 先复制到root/temp 目 录下。然后解压安装就行了。详细的安装步骤如下：
先以root 身份登入。
VMware Tools 所在位置：VMware 安装路径 /VMware/VMware Workstation/linux.iso

[root@rd01 ~]# mount /cdrom
# 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像，看下图
[root@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom
[root@rd01 ~]# ls -a
[root@rd01 ~]# cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]# cd /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]# tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
[root@rd01 ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
