Hi,
I'm trying to install the VMWare tools on my pfsense host.
Specifically I'm looking at this documentation -
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VMware_Tools
Because I don't have a public facing interface, I'm going with this set of
instructions -
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt/
cd /tmp
Oh I feel dumb, the first thing is to install perl, which I can't do given my
location on the network.
Ok so nevermind, sorry.

Hi Chris,
Have you thought about installing the vmware tools from the package list?
They are 3rd party, but they work on all I have setup.

You can fetch the .tbz file for perl and the compat package mentioned on
the page to another system and then copy
Any idea a URL that I could get this package from? Sounds like a good option.

Login to pfsense gui, go to Systems - Packages - Available Packages, do a
search for Open-VM-Tools and click on the add icon to the right of the
package.
As long as it has Internet Access it will download and install all
necessary packages.

One of these should do it (pick the one appropriate for your architecture)
Given than pfSense 2.1.3 uses FreeBSD 8.3 as the base OS, wouldn't

better location to use for packages?
