VMware and X

[J Greene]

OK... this may be a little off but here it goes...

After you boot your guest OS (Linux) mount the cdrom without a CD in the
drive. mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
 
Even though there is no cd in the driver there will be a file in /cdrom

Copy this file to your local drive. Some place like /usr/src and extract
it and install it.  It is a rather simple process.

This is documented on the VMware site but it is almost impossible to find.
 The only way I found it was to have a friend ask a support question...He
owns a copy.  

I don't have the URL.. If I find it I'll post it to the list.
