typically when installing vmware tools in linux, i can mount the cdrom and get to the appropriate binaries. This doesnt work as expected. How can i do this in workstation 5.5.
Can you give more detail on what specifically isn't working? The steps in the user manual have always worked for me.
I cant get the virutal cdrom to mount.
When you start the vmware install, it presents a virtual cdrom that you mount then copy the files off of.
I cant seem to see this.
What specific Guest OS (which distro, version of Linux)?
Different distros call their cd-rom drive a different device name. You may need to alter the syntax in the manual a bit.
well, for some reason, the 4th time i tried
mount /cdrom /mnt it let me.
I tried this after serveral reboots. Not sure why it started working.
Thank you!
