Linux安装VMware Tools
1.挂载vmware tools镜像到文件夹
[root@localhost /]# cd mnt/
[root@localhost mnt]# mkdir vmwaretools
[root@localhost dev]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/vmwaretools/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
2.由于挂载的镜像为只读，所以需要把安装文件cp出来
[root@localhost vmwaretools]# cp VMwareTools-10.3.24-18733423.tar.gz /tmp [root@localhost vmwaretools]# cd /tmp/
3.解压安装文件
[root@localhost tmp]# tar -zvxf VMwareTools-10.3.24-18733423.tar.gz
4.安装vmware tools,一路回车就可以了
