Hi i'm very interesting in fedora 9, and i want a VM with this OS. I have install it already. So I don't know how to install the VM ware tools. I have search in the web and i have find a lot of post explainig it, but my english is not very good, and i don't understand waht they are saying. So if anyone know a easily way to install the VMware Tools, can he post it?

Thanks for all, I wait answer.

PD: I'm using VMware Fusion 1.1.3 and Mac OSX leopard 10.5.3 in a intel macbook C2D 2.2 and 2GB ram

Fedora 9 is not a Supported OS and as such VMware Tools will not install properly and there are no easy plain English directions explicitly and specifically for Fedora 9 for getting this accomplished so until someone posts it you'll have to work with what you have already found. The only thing I've seen posted in this forum that may be of help is the process used with Open VMware Tools as discussed in VMware Fusion 1.1.2 and Ubuntu 8.04/Linux 2.6.24 - Step By Step.

Ok i have read your post before posting mine. So I want to know if i must compile the .tar.gz tools, or trying it with .rpm. My question is that the process is the same for both OS?

The other thing is that i don't have any problem installing VMware tools with Ubuntu 8.04.

Thanks WoodyZ, I will try it and report my experience.
