It must be that the latest VMWare Fusion has a new version of the tools. /mnt/hdc_cdrom/ is right, but you need to figure out what the file is now named. To check, you can "ls /mnt/hdc_cdrom/*.tar.gz", which will tell you the name of the file to complete the line (replace VMWareTools-7.6.2-62573.tar.gz with whatever you found).

Sorry, I don't write English so good. I have a question: I've tried to install backtrack 2 in vmware fusion for mac version 1.1.2. Until step 19 is OK but in step 20 line 3 doesn't match, so I cannot end the installation. I have an European keyboard. Have you a tips for me? Thank you very much. Dan.

The moral of this story is be very careful in step 20! There's a lot of typing, and it's all important to get right.

When prompted for the directory containing the init directories (rc0.d to 6) i know the link is supposed to find the symbolic links in the /etc directory, however i am receiving a msg that this directory does not contain the files. my thought is that there is a problem with the ln -s command. i do see it worked perfectly for you. thinking that adding a -n option may help point the installer in the right direction, but am not sure. any help would be greatly appreciated. either way it is great you put this out there! /mons garrett: huge thanks for your walk through! really been struggling with this for a very long time and you have provided amazing help. i was hoping you may provide some insight into a problem with the symbolic links in step 20 and 21.
