Startup the guest Debian.

In VMWare, click on VM / Install VMWare Tools…

/dev/hdc must be unused !

Click on “Install”

VMWare will mount a virtual CD on your system. Copy VMwareTools-.tar.gz to your home directory

cd ~ && tar xzvf VMwareTools*

cd vmware-tools*

apt-get install gcc linux-headers-2.6-686

ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-686 /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux

apt-get source kernel-image-2.6-686./vmware_install.pl

This can obviously be done through the CLI using Apache Workbench.

Another nice interface is Apache JMeter.
