Installing VMware Tools in a FreeBSD Guest

1. Choose Settings > VMware Tools Install.

This step connects the virtual machine’s CD-ROM drive to an ISO image file on

the ESX Server machine.

2. In your Linux guest, become root, mount the VMware Tools floppy, copy the

contents of the virtual floppy disk to /tmp, then unmount the floppy.

cd /

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt

cp /mnt/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz /tmp

umount /dev/fd0

3. Untar the VMware Tools tar file in /tmp and install it.

cd /tmp

tar zxf vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

cd vmware-freebsd-tools

./install.pl

4. When installation is complete, choose Settings > Cancel Tools Install to

disconnect the ISO image file and return the virtual machine’s CD-ROM drive to

its original configuration.

5. Start X and your graphical environment if they are not started yet.

6. In an X terminal, launch the VMware Tools background application.

vmware-toolbox &

You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user.
