Install VMWare Tools

We don't include all the prerequisites for VMWare tools in our repository. Here's what you have to do:

1. Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list with the following content:

deb http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

(You can use a closer Debian mirror than 'debian.mirror.iweb.ca' if you know of one.)

1. Run: apt-get update
2. Install the VMWare tools. Their prerequisite packages should now be available
3. Once you're done, we recommend commenting out the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list to avoid any surprises in a future dist-upgrade.
