Steps to install VMWARE tools
Pretending to be depressed dead, in order to avoid themselves and the future of the person confused, the installation of the steps to write it down:
1.1, as Root into Linux
2. To exit to Windows, click the Enable VMWARE Tools submenu under the Setting menu to confirm the installation
3. Replace the optical drive with the ISO image, the path is C:\Program files\vmware\vmware Workstation\programs\linux.iso
4. Go to Linux run Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt
Load the CDROM device, then if you enter the/MNT directory, you will find one more file: vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz. This is the Linux software package for WMware tools, which we just saw using Winiso to open the Linux.iso file.
Cp/mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz/tmp
Copy the package to the Linux tmp directory.
Umount/dev/cdrom
Uninstall CDROM.
Cd/tmp
Enter the TMP directory
Tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
Unzip the package and extract it by default to the Vmware-linux-tools directory (with the same name as the filename).
CD Vmware-linux-tools
Enter the unpacked directory

Installing Linux on VMware
Yesterday spent a day to install Linux on VMware, my machine is T40 (512M), memory due to the expansion of 512, so for the Linux Damin on VMware is still basic enough, Linux is Redhat 9.0, new Buy (but only D version, Don't scold me oh, I have no money AH: ().
1, first installed on the machine VMware, version of vmware-workstation-4.0.5-6030, you can go to its official website to download, and then download a registration machine or registration code, I use the registration code for: M1ER8-HRW45-N0HFP-4U0JM. VMware installation has nothing to say, follow the prompts to install.
2, after the installation of VMware, you can in one of the new virtual machine. Type selected as Linux.
3, after the completion of the virtual machine, the first Linux CD into the CD-ROM drive, click on VMware "Start this virtual machine", at this time the VM started, and bootable CD to boot, entered the installation steps. Please refer to the other Linux installation instructions for specific installation steps, not to mention, just follow the prompts to install.
4, after installing Linux, you also need to install VMware Tools on this VM, otherwise it is difficult to correctly use this Linux, the following post a user installation instructions.
***********************************************************************************
The correct installation of VMWARE tools steps are as follows:
1, as Root into Linux
2, press the Ctrl+alt key combination, enter the main operating system, click the VMware status bar installation prompts, or click the Setting menu under the Enable VMWARE Tools submenu.
3, confirm the installation of VMware TOOLS.
At this time we did not really install the VMware Tools package, if you click on the menu: DEVICES, you will find the CD-ROM menu text into:ide1:0-> c:program Filesvmwarevmware Workstationprogramslinux.iso, which means VMware takes Linux's ISO image file as a CD-ROM for the virtual machine
4, the mouse clicks the Linux interface, enters the Linux.
5, run the following command, pay attention to case.
Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt
Load the CDROM device, then if you enter the/MNT directory, you will find one more file: vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz. This is the Linux software package for WMware tools, which we just saw using Winiso to open the Linux.iso file.
Cp/mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz/tmp
Copy the package to the Linux tmp directory.
Umount/dev/cdrom
Uninstall CDROM.
Cd/tmp
Enter the TMP directory
Tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
Unzip the package and extract it by default to the Vmware-linux-tools directory (with the same name as the filename).
CD Vmware-linux-tools
Enter the unpacked directory
./install.pl
Run the installation command.
When install prompts you to back up your previous profile, it is recommended to select "Y".
After waiting for the install to run, when you type the START command, do you see a nice Linux graphical interface? ***********************************************************************************

Installing VMware on Windows XP is no different from installing on Win2000, just follow the steps.
When configuring Linux to run the environment, if you really want to play, do not save the hard disk space, anyway you have dozens of G,
It's not too much to give two G to Linux, if you have more than two optical drives, like a burner or something,
Don't forget to set up the boot sequence in the environment, with the optical drive, the burner to save some use it

In the environment, the virtual network card has a variety of settings, to see your needs, if you want to own even yourself, optional host-only,
After all, to use Linux directly to the Internet is not much, you have to set up their own Windows XP corresponding device IP, and Linux IP.
But if you choose Bridged, Linux usually gets IP automatically, if your broadband provider can provide automatic IP allocation.
But I am in Linux on the internet always feel very difficult to see the font, and I still like netcaptor, convenient!

Installing Linux in VMware is no different from installing on the actual machine, and the virtual environment is set to the CD-ROM to start the process.
Note that the disc is placed in the CD-ROM you set up.

It is best to use the text when installing, anyway I pursue installation speed.

The Linux login prompt also don't be too happy, to start Xwindow also have a lot of trouble, VMware website has xwindow dedicated driver,
You are going to download it back, follow the instructions on the website to modify the Xwindow profile, which is usually not possible, I spend most of my time on it,
After installing VMware tools to start Xwindow, it is recommended that you install VMware tools as soon as you finish installing VMware drivers, modify the configuration files,
Take a lot less detours.

By now, you can have a machine at the same time when two sets, under the WinXP with your Telnet tool to log on to your own Linux to see, to experience remote access,
Note that Linux has firewall settings, and the default many services are not open, the Advanced Linux settings can be.

The following is a summary of the key points for installing Linux RED HAT 9 under XP and VMware Workstation 4.5.2. For the sake of accuracy, I removed the virtual machines under Red Hat and VMware under the installed VMware, reset the virtual machines and install Red Hat 9, while setting/installing the following content. The reason for this is that for beginners, the omission or unclear of a small step/detail can lead to a pause in the entire setup/installation process.

This installation is based on VMware's Linux installation under XP, but I suspect that Linux installation in a pure PC system will not be much different. If so, we can say that RED HAT 9 is just as easy to install as Windows.


First, VMware Workstation 4.5.2 set the key points

1. First install the VMware Workstation 4.5.2 (I use the e-text version). Point help Enter serial number, input registration code (otherwise the program can not use).

2. Select the new Virtual Machine in the main window, click "Linux" after two "next", and select your Linux version in the Drop-down menu below, then press "Next";

3. Click Browse to select the directory where the virtual machine is located under XP. The default directory is
C:documents and Settingsqmy documentsmy Virtual machinesred Hat Linux
But I think it's best not to be on C with XP. In addition, the disk of the virtual machine directory has enough space, because the installed red HAT 9 itself has nearly 1.8G. After the virtual machine directory is set, press "Next".

4. Select the appropriate network connection. Press "Next".

5. This step is to specify the capacity of the virtual disk, the default is 4G. I add to 6G and press "Finish". A virtual machine appears on the interface, with memory, hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, network card, USB controller, audio adapter. The left part of the interface is the "Start this virtual machine" and "Edit virtual Machine setting" two commands. Point "edit virtual Machine Setting" command to add a part. The specific step is to click Add on the pop-up interface and select the part you want to add. Note that if you add the hard drive and remove the hard drive, it doesn't seem to delete the hard drive item in the XP directory. The specific situation or ask the experienced person.


Second, start the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 4.5.2 and install red HAT 9

1. Before you start, determine whether your red HAT 9 is a disc or a virtual disc file. I downloaded the red HAT 9 in http://princo.org:8080/linux/redhat/9.0/iso/.

This site has a total of 7 files in the directory, download 3 of them with "386" words should be on it. This is the virtual CD version of the RH9.

2. To use the virtual CD version of Red HAT 9, install the virtual disc before starting the VMware virtual machine by:
1) Double-click the CD-ROM icon on the right side of the VMware interface
2 in the pop-up dialog box selected "Use ISO image",
3 Click "Browse" to select the first of the 3 CD files you have downloaded (Note: Repeat steps 2) and 3 in the subsequent installation process) to choose another 3 of the 2 CD files, and then press OK.

3. Now you can start the virtual machine, it is the point "start this virtual machine" command, press Ok,vmware window, there is a virtual machine to start the screen.

Note the way the cursor switches between the XP interface and the VMware interface. Cursor from XP to VMware, just click the mouse on the VMware window. To get back to XP from VMware, press Ctrl+alt.


4. RED Hat's CD-ROM automatically enters the installer's interface. First ask if you want to light the drive, I choose not to; The specific method is to click the mouse on the VMware window, press the RIGHT ARROW key on the keyboard, and then enter.

5. Then, after selecting the language mouse and so on, the installer asks if you want to automatically partition (Aotumatic partitioning), and I click "Next" directly. The next interface has 3 options for aotumatic partitioning, and I choose 3rd to "Keep all partitions and use existing unused spaces" (keep all partitions and using existing free space). And then I'm a dot next.

5. After selecting the system time, Setup requires the root (administrator) password to be set, which is the root (admin) password. After setting up, even a few "NEXT", began to install.

6. After an installation (10 minutes or longer), the installer prompts for a second disc, when the novice may feel overwhelmed. The correct approach is to find the 4 small icons on the edge of the bottom right corner of the VMware window. Double-click on the left of the second (that is, the optical drive icon), you will appear in step 2.2 above the dialog box, click "Browse", select the 3 CD files you downloaded the second, press OK, And then click OK in the VMware window to complete the work for the second disk.

7. When prompted for a third Zhang Pan, change to the third disk in step 6.

8. After the third read, the system asked whether to do the startup disk, casually (I did not do), and then is the video card and so on, I am the default. Finally select an "EXIT", VMware internal system reboot.

9. After reboot, you are prompted to open a personal account (personal accounts) and password. Note, although this is not open account can also pass, but in fact, you must start a username and password here, because restart you must provide personal accounts and passwords, otherwise do not give you a boot. Then the choice of day and audition sound card (the first time to hear the voice of Linux, good place). Then ask you whether to register, I choose No (VMware under, but play a game only). Then asked if there is no additional installation, first do not install it, the system is finished first, so directly press the "FORWARD". VMware internal system reboot.

10. After startup, the system asks the user name and password. Enter the username and password that you opened in step 9 (No! Then, it's the Red HAT 9 interface. Installation is done!!!


installing VMware Tools
1. Choose File > Install VMware Tools.
2. Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt
This step is different depending on the Linux,
For example Turbolinux will cdrom as: HDC, then should be: mount/dev/hdc/mnt
Use Ls-lah/dev/cdrom to view the current Linux CDROM drive number.
3. Cd/tmp
Tar zxf/mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
Umount/mnt

4. Run the VMware Tools installer.
CD Vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

5. Log out of the root account.
Exit
