Guest Operating System Installation Guide

configuration tool for your VMware product to connect the virtual machine’s CD

drive to the ISO image file, then power on the virtual machine.

Using an ISO image file in this way can be particularly convenient if you need to

install the same operating system in multiple virtual machines. It can also help

you work around a problem seen in some host configurations, in which the

virtual machine is not able to boot from the installation CD-ROM.

Note: If you plan to use a PXE server to install the guest operating system over a

network connection, you do not need the operating system installation media.

When you power on the virtual machine in the next step, the virtual machine

detects the PXE server.

3. Power on your virtual machine by clicking the Power On button.

4. Follow the instructions provided by the operating system vendor.

As with physical computers, a separate operating system license is required for each

virtual machine you run.

Note: Some Microsoft Windows OEM discs included with new computers are

customized for those computers and include device drivers and other utilities specific

to the hardware system. Even if you can install this Windows operating system on your

actual computer, you may not be able to install it in a virtual machine. You may need

to purchase a new copy of Windows to install in a virtual machine.

Installing VMware Tools in a Linux Guest Operating System

You must install VMware Tools from a text mode screen. You cannot install from a

terminal in an X window session.

Some recent distributions of Linux are configured to run the X server when they boot

and do not provide an easy way to stop the X server. However, you can switch to a

different workspace that is still in text mode and install VMware Tools from that

workspace.

To switch between Linux workspaces in a virtual machine, press Ctrl-Alt-Space, release

Space without releasing Ctrl and Alt, then press the function key for the workspace

you want to use — for example, F2. If you change your hot key combination to

something other than Ctrl-Alt, use that new combination with Space and the function

key.

Running a Guest Operating System

For information on running a guest operating system and using its features, see the

documentation provided by the operating system vendor.
