在启动vmware的Solaris虚拟机的时候，vm workstation就提示要我安装vmware tools。

进入系统后，点了那个安装vmware tools的按钮，然后就在Solaris虚拟机的桌面上看到了一个光盘图标，看了下，挂载了一个光盘，实际上这个光盘不存在，呵呵。

进入/cdrom，将里面的一个.tar.gz文件cp到桌面上/Desktop,先用gunzip解压，然后用tar解包，生成了一个"vmware-tool-distrib"的文件夹

进入这个文件夹，执行其中的vmware-install.pl，然后就是一长串的设置，如下：

  1: Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format.

  2:

  3: Installing VMware Tools.

  4:

  5: In which directory do you want to install the binary files?

  6: [/usr/bin]

  7:

  8: What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?

  9: [/etc]

 10:

 11: What is the directory that contains the init scripts?

 12: [/etc/init.d]

 13:

 14: In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?

 15: [/usr/sbin]

 16:

 17: In which directory do you want to install the library files?

 18: [/usr/lib/vmware-tools]

 19:

 20: The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is

 21: going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?

 22: [yes]

 23:

 24: In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?

 25: [/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

 26:

 27: The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program

 28: is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you

 29: want? [yes]

 30:

 31: The installation of VMware Tools 8.1.4 build-227600 for Solaris completed

 32: successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any

 33: time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

 34:

 35: Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by

 36: invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want

 37: this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

 38: 

我是一路按默认配置回车了过去，后面设置了个屏幕分辨率。

  1: Please choose one of the following display sizes that X will start with:

  2:

  3: [1]  "640x480"

  4: [2]< "800x600"

  5: Please enter a number between 1 and 2:

  6:

  7: [2]

之后大体上就配置完成了。原来也没有我想像的那么复杂啊。
