What is BIOS, what is it intended for and what types of BIOS-es exist? The most popular 'universal' flashers are AwdFlash, AMIFlash and UniFlash; other. BIOS image file's size does not match the flash memory chip capacity.
For Linux virtual machines, you manually install or upgrade VMware Tools by using the command line.
Install the latest version of VMware Tools to enhance the performance of the virtual machine's guest operating system and improve virtual machine management. When you power on a virtual machine, if a new version of VMware Tools is available, you see a notification in the status bar of the guest operating system.

Power on the virtual machine.
■
|
Verify that the guest operating system is running.
|
Because the VMware Tools installer is written in Perl, verify that Perl is installed in the guest operating system.
|
Procedure
On the host, from the VMware Fusion menu bar, select Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools.
If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools.

In the virtual machine, log in to the guest operating system as root and open a terminal window.
|
|||
Run the mount command with no arguments to determine whether your Linux distribution automatically mounted the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.
If the CD-ROM device is mounted, the CD-ROM device and its mount point are listed as something like this:
|

|
If the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image is not mounted, mount the CD-ROM drive.
|
|||
Change to a working directory (for example, /tmp).
cd /tmp
|
||||
6
|
Delete any previous vmware-tools-distrib directory before you install VMware Tools.
The location of this directory depends on where you placed it during the previous installation. Often this directory is placed in /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib.
|
|||
List the contents of the mount point directory and note the filename of the VMware Tools tar installer.
|
||||
8
|
Uncompress the installer.
The value x.x.x is the product version number, and yyyy is the build number of the product release.
If you attempt to install a tar installation over an RPM installation, or the reverse, the installer detects the previous installation and must convert the installer database format before continuing.
|
|||
If necessary, unmount the CD-ROM image.
If your Linux distribution automatically mounted the CD-ROM, you do not need to unmount the image.
|
||||
10
|
Run the installer and configure VMware Tools.
Usually, the vmware-config-tools.pl configuration file runs after the installer file finishes running.
|
|||
Respond to the prompts by pressing Enter to accept the default values, if appropriate for your configuration.
|

|
Follow the instructions at the end of the script.
Depending on the features you use, these instructions can include restarting the X session, restarting networking, logging in again, and starting the VMware User process. You can alternatively reboot the guest operating system to accomplish all these tasks.

If a new virtual hardware version is available for the virtual machine, upgrade the virtual hardware.
