I fired up my VMWare Fusion 2.0.1 (which I usually use to test webpages with IE under XP) and installed Ubuntu 10.04.
Seems to work fine except the shared folders are greyed out and I cannot drag and drop.
Installed VMwareTools-7.9.3-128865 and that seemed to go well.
1) Install VMware Tools from the Virtual Machine menu.
2) Extracted to the desktop.
3) From Terminal
cd /Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib
sudo ./vmware-intall.pl
follow prompts
There are a few warnings but it looks OK.
I can go to the Add Shared Folders but in the Sharing settings they are greyed out.
And I cannot drag and drop.
This is a Leopard Mac.
Is there a step I am missing.
