Linux操作系统文本模式下安装VMware虚拟机

　　4. As root (su -), mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working Directory (for example, /tmp), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.

　　Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file. The GSX Server software contains an ISO image that looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system. This image contains all the files needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system.

　　Linux Guests: Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom or if the mount point for a CD-ROM is not /mnt/cdrom, modify the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.

　　Further, some Linux distributions automatically mount CD-ROMs. If your distribution uses automounting, do not use the mount and umount commands below. You still must untar the VMware Tools installer to /tmp.

　　mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

　　cd /tmp

　　tar zxf /mnt/cdrom/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz

　　umount /mnt/cdrom

　　FreeBSD Guests: Some FreeBSD distributions automatically mount CD-ROMs. If your distribution uses automounting, do not use the mount and umount commands below. You still must untar the VMware Tools installer to /tmp.
