Fedora 4 安装VMware Tools 5.5.*

先启动虚拟机，进入Linux系统
在vmware的菜单中选择Vm->install vmware-tools，这个时候好象vmware就会把安转文件映射到你的cdrom

接着mount一下光驱
#mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt

将安装文件拷到自己的目录
#cp /mnt/VMwareTools-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz  /home
解压缩一下
#tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz

umount /dev/cdrom
卸载CDROM,不然运行安装后会出现：
unable to create the directory /mnt/hgfs

然后进入解压后的目录vmware-tools-distrib，进行安装
#./vmware-install.pl

# 安装过程的画面，全部使用默认值，一直按 Enter 就对了
