LINUX VMWare-TOOLS的安装及使用
安装
vmware-tools的安装包有两个,一个是rpm包,一个是tar包,下面分别是用了这两种方法安装:
一、rpm包安装
1.在启动LINUX 虚拟机之后,在WMWare 的菜单栏中点击"VM",然后点击下拉菜单中的"Install VMware TOOLS"选项。
2.挂载光驱:
[root@localhost ~]# mount /mnt/cdrom /mnt/
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh /mnt/VMwareTools-6.0.0-45731.i386.rpm
然后会出现安装过程,安装完之后
[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/bin
[root@localhost ~]# ls *.pl
[root@localhost ~]# ./vmware-config-tools.pl
然后,按提示安装就可以了,安装过程中会闪几下,这是正常的。
最后,按Ctrl+Alt,在左下角不出现"没有安装VMware-tools" 的提示,就说明安装成功了。
二、tar包安装
1.在启动LINUX 虚拟机之后,在WMWare 的菜单栏中点击"VM",然后点击下拉菜单中的"Install VMware TOOLS"选项。
2.挂载光驱:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
3.拷贝文件,将该软件包拷贝到LINUX的TMP目录(这个自选)下:
[root@localhost ~]# cp /mnt/ /tmp
进入TMP目录:
[root@localhost ~]# cd /tmp
解压缩该软件包:
[root@localhost ~]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-6.0.
进入解压后的目录: 
[root@localhost ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
运行安装命令:
[root@localhost ~]# ./vmware-install.pl
以后一路回车即可,这时install提示你是否需要备份以前的配置文件,建议选择"yes"。
同样,安装完成后在左下角你看不到"没有安装VMware-tools"的提示,就说明安装成功了。
使用
安装完后,在vm的菜单中vm-setting-option-shared folders ,选择"Enable" ,并指定共享目录就可以了。此外如果已经开启了Selinux,也可能导致共享不能正常使用,可以选择禁用来解决此问题。
最终可以在虚拟机的file:/mnt/hgfs目录下(Xwindow中)看到共享的windows文件夹了,也可以直接到/mnt/hgfs目录下看到操作共享文件,这样就可以通过这个文件夹实现主机和vm之间的文件传递了。

linux vmware-tools安装说明2010-05-09 19:161、启动并进入Linux系统。
2、然后选择虚拟机菜单中的“虚拟机/安装VMware-Tools”,此时就会有把VMware-tools文件映像到CD-ROM中。
3、把“VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.i386.rpm,VMwareTools-6.0.”文件复制 到自己的需要的位置中,然后选择一种安装方式。在此我选VMwareTools-6.0.。
4、解压
# tar -zxvf VmwareTools-6.0.
5、进入/home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib目录中,
cd /home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib
6、输入 ./vmware-install.pl进行安装,在安装过程中根据提示进行选择
,在此我一路选择回车即可,详细安装过程如下:

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.0.2 build-59824 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/home/tsm/software/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service
