一、VMware Tools安装手记(For Linux Guest OS)
为什么要装 VMware Tools？
因为它可以改善 Virtual Machine 的运行性能，而且可以让 Host OS 和 Guest OS 互通有无，这样我们就不用伤脑筋，要架设什么服务器，来沟通两个 OS，现在就让我们开始吧！
VMware Tools所在位置：VMware 安装路径 \VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso
[root@rd01 ~]#
mount /cdrom
# 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像，看下图
[root@rd01 ~]#
cd /cdrom
[root@rd01 ~]#
ls -a
[root@rd01 ~]#
cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]#
cd /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]#
tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
[root@rd01 ~]#
cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]#

time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now?

The configuration of VMware Tools 5.5.1 build-19175 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:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an XFree86 session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
depmod -a
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start

# 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
