Установка VMware Tools на FreeBSD 9

Для установки VMware Tools на FreeBSD 9 необходим Perl и compat6.x

[root@srv250test ~]# cd /usr/ports/misc/compat6x
[root@srv250test /usr/ports/misc/compat6x]# make install clean

Монтируем виртуальный CD

[root@srv250test ~]# mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /media

Копируем архив VMware tools в любой каталог (предварительно создав его)

[root@srv250test ~]# mkdir /root/vmwaretools && cp /media/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz /root/vmwaretools

Распаковываем

[root@srv250test ~]# cd /root/vmwaretools && tar xvf vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

Запускаем установщик
