so installed the open-vmware-tools-nox11 package... the vsphere ( the
client interface) detects it but it says VMWare Tools: Unmanaged. any
idea what that means?
i did try to install from source off the sourceforge site without x and
some other stuff but it's broken.
thanks...
kal
awesome... thanks to all replies... i'll try the nox11 also.. those
machines are only intended as servers so guis are not necessary...
thanks...

so the question is which vmware tools should i get for the fbsd 8 guests to
go with the esxi 4.1. in the ports there are vmware-tools6, 5, 4, 3. tried
six. it wants some disk. there is also the open-vmware-tools.

I haven't used vmware so I can't say if it's better but it didn't take
me long to get freebsd up and running with virtualbox. Just follow the
instructions at http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox
You do have to install /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions/ on
the guest. I got FreeBSD 8.1
hi all...
messing around with vmware and fbsd 8...
has anybody used vmware esxi 4 to put a bunch of fbsd machines on it?
i also installed the vmsphere client (they call it) which is pretty nice
interface to interact with the virtual machines but apparently doesn't
know much on how to install
