There are several reasons for installing Vmware Tools in the guest-OS:

  • Better network performance by using vmxnet module
  • May be better Virtual-disk speed because /etc/init.d/vmware-tools sets up hdparms.
  • Time synchronization hetween host & guest OS.

Installation:

  1. Install Virtual Machine (e.g. SuSE 9.3 used here) with pcnet32 network module (default).
  2. Run Yast Online Update you
