I have used vmplayer  running in my fc5 host for a Quantian (like knoppix) 
vm.
I needed the Tools installed inside the vm  (not the fc5host)  in order to 
get cut/paste
working between  my host fc5 and my vm quantian.
That vm is still working.

I found the vmwaretools inside vmware server
downloaded into my fc5 host,  but i dd not install vmware server anywhere
Instead i was able toextract  something like  "linux.iso"  not sure   from 
the vmwareserver  tarball
--again my memory weak here--
then inside that  linux.iso  i was able to extract and install  the 
vmwaretools in the quantian vm.

hth,
I might have better notes stashed somewhere
