20080709 Install Ubuntu 7.10 & VMware-tools

[C] Installiation of Ubuntu 7.10

• flow
• downloaded the image file

• installation complete (without security packages)

• comments
• installed Ubuntu 8.04 (the latest version)
• failed to install other development packages on it
• version 8.04 seems NOT stable as 7.xx -> let’s install version 7.10 instead
• it takes too long!! (about an hour)   -> backing up the vmware image file after installation will be desirable

[C] Installation of vmware-tools

• choose ‘Install VMware-tools’ from the VMWare menu
• mount VMware tools from the desktop
• copy VMware tools tar.gz file to anywhere that i want
• extract the archive file, and change the permission to root user by ‘sudo -i’
• execute vmware-install.pl
