well, im installing Debian on a Virtual Machine. The instalation is finished and the only thing i have to do is install VMware Tools, i mount /dev/cdrom /mnt, then i run the instalation for it, And finaly i have to configure it. Then it has to mkdir /mnt/hfgs, and it just say i have read access only. Someone Expirenced the same? or know what to do? and no, chmod dont work

I don't use Debian so I dont' know.

It appears you are trying to creat a directory on your cdrom which you can't.

What I do for other linux distribution is copy the vmware-tool install file to a directory. Untar the file with "tar -zxvf" and run the installation script "./vmware-install.pl"
