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]#
