If CentOS is installed on VMWare, some problems may occur when the system installs vmware-tools. Now, let's share the installation process and solutions ;! The system used in this article is CentOS6.5 minimal. 1. log on to the system and switch to the root account. 2. If the network minimal version is configured, the network is not started by default.
