VMware 是非常好的虚拟机软件。如果系统安装了VMwareTools以后对虚拟机的性能会提升很多的。下面是如何在CentOS系统内安装VMware Tools。
一、首先在虚拟机种装入VMware Tools光盘
然后安装光盘:
这时候CentOS系统就已经挂载上了VMware Tools光盘。
二、解压缩VMware Tools。
[root@Shaoxing ~]# cd /media/VMware\Tools/
[root@Shaoxing VMware Tools]# tar zxvfVMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz -C/tmp/
[root@Shaoxing VMware Tools]# cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/
三、安装VMware Tools
[root@Shaoxing vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl
下面的选项就按照默认值。一直回车就可以:

四、完成安装。
这回鼠标就可以自由出入真实和虚拟主机了。还可以直接拖拽文件。大家使用起来很方便。
注:经本人安装后,在图形界面下鼠标可以自由切换,但是命令行模式下鼠标还是需要ctrl+alt才能切换。本人的是CentOS5.5。
