Installing VMware tools on lenny

There is a better way installing ‘open-vm-tools’:

1. Adding ‘contrib’ and ‘non-free’ to ‘/etc/apt/sources.list’

deb http://ftp.gb.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.gb.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free



# apt-get update
# apt-get install module-assistant open-vm-source open-vm-tools
# module-assistant prepare
# module-assistant build open-vm-source
# module-assistant install open-vm-source
# reboot
