 |

Hello,
According to the manual I need to connect the iso file of the vmware tools to the cdrom.
How do I do that and is it a problem that my rescue-cd for installing gentoo is in the cdrom ?

viClient or VMware Server Console is offering a menu option which mounts the vmware-tools.iso in the local vm

Just a small hint: app-emulation/open-vm-tools
That's the package for the open source version of the vmware tools 'shipped' with gentoo. Just emerge those in your gentoo vm and you're done.

All you need is a livecd for 64 bit, that boots and gives you an internet connection.

Hello,
SystemRescue is a dvd for 64 bit systems.
I installed the Gentoo host system with it and there the internet connection works fine.
