一、VMware Tools安装手记(For Linux Guest OS)

为什么要装 VMware Tools？

因为它可以改善 Virtual Machine 的运行性能，而且可以让 Host OS 和 Guest OS 互通有无，这样我们就不用伤脑筋，要架设什么服务器，来沟通两个 OS，现在就让我们开始吧！

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
