VMware7.0下linux中自主安装VM tools

由于自定义分区的方式安装linux系统（WIN中没试过）或者通过网络在VM中安装系统时，VM默认不给安装vmtools。感觉很不方便，为了可以自由拖拽文件以及调整分辨率，这里是在RHEL5.1下安装vmtools的方法：

VMware Tools所在位置：VMware 安装路径 /VMware/VMware Workstation/linux.iso

首先在vm中模拟的光驱中加载linux.iso[root@rd01 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/ # 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
[root@rd01 ~]# cd /media
[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]# ./vmware-install.pl

[/etc/rc.d/init.d] 
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files? 
[/usr/sbin] 
In which directory do you want to install the library files? 
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools] 
Thepath "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This programisgoingto create it, including needed parent directories. Is thiswhatyou want? 
[yes] 
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files? 
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

[yes] 
The installation of VMware Tools 5.5.1 build-19175 for Linux completed 
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any 
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? [yes]
