我的主机为Windows XP，在主机上安装软件VMware workstation 6， 运行虚拟机安装Redhat Linux 9.
Redhat Linux 9装完后，需要安装VMware Tools.
假设现在RH9正在以root身份运行在命令行模式下
1. 设置Redhat Linux 9的cdrom为物理读盘。
VM -> Settings -> CD-ROM, 选择Use physical driver -> Auto detect
2. 通过VS6将VMware Tools安装程序放入RL9的CD-ROM
VM -> Install VMware Tools...
3. 悬挂光驱到文件系统
运行命令 mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
4. 将VMware Tools安装程序复制到临时位置
运行命令 cd /mnt [enter]
cp /VMwareTools-6.0.0-.tar.gz /tmp
5. 解压并安装
运行命令 cd /tmp [enter]
tar zxpf VMwareTools-6.0.0-.tar.gz [enter]
cd vmware-tools-distrib [enter]
./vmware-install.pl
之后开始安装，过程中和用户的交互均按Enter键使用默认值。
6. 卸载光驱文件
umount /dev/cdrom
VMware Tools的作用：
VMware Tools service
Passes messages from the host operating system to the guest operating system.
Executes commands in the operating system to cleanly shut down or restart a
Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris system when you select power operations in
Workstation.
Sends a heartbeat to a VMware Server, if you use the virtual machine with VMware Server.
On Windows guests, grabs and releases the mouse cursor.
On Windows guests, fits the guest’s screen resolution to the host’s and vice
versa.
Synchronizes the time in the guest operating system with the time in the host
operating system.
Runs scripts that help automate guest operating system operations. The scripts run when the virtual machine’s power state changes.
The service starts when the guest operating system boots.
A set of VMware device drivers
SVGA display driver that provides high display resolution and significantly
faster overall graphics performance.
The vmxnet networking driver for some guest operating systems.
BusLogic SCSI driver for some guest operating systems.
VMware mouse driver.
A kernel module for handling shared folders, called hgfs.sys on Windows
and vmhgfs on Linux and Solaris.
VMware user process
Enables you to copy and paste text between the guest and host operating
systems, and copy and paste files between the host operating systems and
Windows, Linux, and Solaris guest operating systems.
Enables you to drag and drop files between the host operating systems and
Windows, Linux, and Solaris guest operating systems.
On Linux and Solaris guests, grabs and releases the mouse cursor when the
SVGA driver is not installed.
On Linux and Solaris guests, fits the guest’s screen resolution to the host’s.
VMware Tools control panel
The Tools control panel lets you modify settings, shrink virtual disks, and connect and disconnect virtual devices.
