Installation VMWare-Tools

1. find out the kernel version:

Debian-Etch#: uname -a As a result you will get something like this (numbers may vary depending on the system):

Linux Debian 2.6.18-4-686 .....

The numbers at the end are needed for point 3.

2. installation of the required packages

apt-get -y install gcc make zip unzip psmisc libglib2.0-0

3. installing the kernel headers and kernel sources

And here we enter the numbers from point 1.

apt-get -y install linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 linux-source-2.6.18
