荏苒

一是没时间安装，另外是一直用的是VM的绿色版，里面没有Linux.iso 文件

今天晚上安装上了 linux 的vmtools ，再也不用按 Ctrl+Alt 了 也不用看800 X 600的桌面了!

在vmware安装vmware tools，如果直接安装VMTools工具不成功，那么就需要手工安装。

1. 以ROOT身份进入LINUX
2. 退出到windows,点击 SETTING菜单下的ENABLE VMWARE TOOLS子菜单,确认安装
3. 使用虚拟光驱加载iso镜像，路径为d:linux.iso
4. 进入linux运行在终端执行如下语句，将tar.gz 复制到/tmp目录下: 因为在cdrom文件下没的可执行权限!

    cp VMwareTools-8.1.3-203739.tar.gz /tmp

5. cd /tmp     进入TMP目录

6. tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz

    解压缩该软件包，默认解压到 vmware-tools-distrib目录下（与文件名同名）。
cd  vmware-tools-distrib  进入解压后的目录

7. 执行安装文件
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./INSTALL

如果你的EngLish好的话，就根据自己需要配置一下，如果不是很懂EngLish的话你一直按回车就行了!

安装好后，重启linux 生效!

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:
“/usr/bin/vmtools/vmware-toolbox” during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmtools/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

Enjoy,
