Hello, Savvy Friends,
I just created a new virtual machine from scratch, by using the Linux Easy Install with a 64-bit Kubuntu 8.10 installation iso image. Details of my host and guest configurations are shown at the bottom of this message, in this color.
I suspect that the Linux Easy Install did not complete installing VMware Tools. When I click Virtual Machine on the Fusion menu bar, the second item shown on the drop-down list is Cancel VMware Tools Installation.
How can I tell for sure whether VMware Tools was installed or not?
In the past, I was able to install VMware Tools manually with the tar installer in another Linux VM. But my Linux command-line and GUI skills are weak -- I'm a Linux newbie -- and this time I was not able to mount the VMware Tools install image on one of the virtual cd-rom drives. Would you please tell me where in Kubuntu's file structure Linux Easy Install dropped the VMware Tools install image?
With thanks in advance,
