Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS
in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment.
Do you wish
to enable this
feature? [yes]
Could not create
the '/mnt/hgfs' directory.
The filesystem
driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest
of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of
this feature.
If you wish to
have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running
vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel
sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages
are available on your distribution's installation CD.
