Sure: - select "VM -> Install VMware Tools..." - login into your guest and mount your cdrom drive - copy and extract "vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz" from the cdrom - cd into "vmware-tools-distrib" and start installation with "./vmware-install.pl" (perl has to be installed already) - umount cdrom and select "VM -> Cancel VMware Tools Install..." in the menu If anyone wants to run FreeBSD as guest under VMware ESX: the Tools delivered with VMware server also work in ESX-Guests.
