配置mware tools

1. 启动虚拟计算机中的Linux系统，并以root身份登录进入Linux；

2. 按下CTRL+ALT组合键，切换到真实的计算机系统；

3. 单击VMware状态栏中的"VMware Tools is not running. click on this text to install."的安装提示，
或者单击 "Settings"菜单中的"VMware Tools Install"选项，安装VMware Tools；
弹出一个对话框，点击“install”

4. 现在，单击"Devices"菜单，会发现光驱选项的描述为"ide 1:0 -> <VMware的安装路径>/linux.iso"，
表明VMware将VMware Tools安装程序的ISO映像文件作为了虚拟计算机的光盘；
注意，如果光驱不是使用iso镜像，那么修改一下，
修改为：光驱改为使用iso镜像，路径为C:/Program Files/VMware/VMware Workstation/Programs/linux.iso

5，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。
具体操作如下：
以root身份进入linux运行mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
 (注意，不是 /mnt/cdrom ，而是 /mnt)
[root@racnode1 root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@racnode1 root]# ll /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Sep  1 01:17 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
[root@racnode1 root]# ll /mnt
total 1445
-r--r--r--    1 root     root      1479243 Jul 23  2003 vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
[root@racnode1 root]#

然后，cd /mnt  用ls 看有无vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz ，如果没有这个文件就需要检查一下前面的步骤了。

6，将该软件包拷贝到LINUX的 TMP目录下：
即，执行 cp /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz /tmp ，例如：
[root@racnode1 root]# cp /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz /tmp
[root@racnode1 root]# ll /tmp/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
-r--r--r--    1 root     root      1479243 Sep  5 23:47 /tmp/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
[root@racnode1 root]#

7，解压缩该软件包，默认解压到vmware-linux-tools目录下（与文件名同名）
[root@racnode1 root]# cd  /tmp
[root@racnode1 tmp]#  tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
[root@racnode1 tmp]# ll
total 1464
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          413 Sep  1 22:14 a.lst
drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep  5 23:20 orbit-root
drwxr-xr-x    4 201      201          4096 Jul 23  2003 vmware-linux-tools
-r--r--r--    1 root     root      1479243 Sep  5 23:47 vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
[root@racnode1 tmp]#

8，进入解压后的目录（vmware-linux-tools），运行安装命令。
当install提示你是否需要备份以前的配置文件，建议选择"y"。
[root@racnode1 tmp]# cd vmware-linux-tools
[root@racnode1 vmware-linux-tools]# ll
