I just installed Beta1 server i386, which is the first one to actually
boot. Host is vmware WS 7.0.1 on windows 7 64.

According to the package descriptions:

vis...@lucid-beta1:~$ apt-cache search open-vm-tools
open-vm-dkms - DKMS source for VMware guest systems driver
open-vm-source - Source for VMware guest systems driver
open-vm-toolbox - tools and components for VMware guest systems (GUI tools)
open-vm-tools - tools and components for VMware guest systems (CLI tools)
open-vm-tools-dbg - tools and components for VMware guest systems (debug)

Installing only open-vm-tools seems to be pulling in all the X stuff,
which I don't want.

Just for my understanding - I should install 'open-vm-tools' for a
headless VM, and 'open-vm-toolbox' for a GUI system. Right? Or am I
missing something?
