1、启动并进入Linux系统。
2、然后选择虚拟机菜单中的“虚拟机/安装VMware-Tools”,此时就会有把VMware-tools文件映像到CD－ROM中。
3、把“VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.i386.rpm，VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz”文件复制到自己的需要的位置中，然后选择一种安装方式。在此我选VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz。
4、解压
# tar -zxvf VmwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz
5、进入/home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib目录中，
cd /home/tsm/Tools/vmware-tools-distrib
6、输入 ./vmware-install.pl进行安装，在安装过程中根据提示进行选择，在此我一路选择回车即可，周详安装过程如下：
[root@tsmpc vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl，

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.0.2 build-59824 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
“/home/tsm/software/vmware-toolbox” during an X server session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service
Enjoy,
