# 修改完成之后,重新启动计算机,让 VMware Tools 生效
# 重新启动计算机之后,我们就会发觉到,当我们要离开 Guest OS 的时候,不再需要按 Ctrl + Alt 了,
# 现在我们来共享 Host OS 的文件夹给 Guest 使用,〔VM〕→〔设置 Ctrl + D〕
# 注:左下角原本都会显示「You do not have VMware Tools installed」,现在我们装了 VMware Tools,就不再显示了
# 这就是共享完毕的画面,然后我们就需要到 Guest OS 内,看看可不可以读取到刚刚共享的目录
# 顺利的话,我们只要到「/mnt/hgfs」文件夹,就可以看到刚刚共享的文件夹了

在虚拟机Debian3.1上安装Vmware Tools(英文版)
1. Install software needed by VMware Tools
(1)Install packages to build thekernel modules apt-get install autoconf automake binutils make cpp cpp-3.3 gcc gcc-3.3kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
