[CentOS] CentOS guest for VMware, any similar setup?

[Mark Schoonover]

I just finished going through the time sync problem, and here's the info I
used:
 
To configure ESX 2.5.x Server: http://tinyurl.com/ycpcfv
To configure Windows Guest OS: http://tinyurl.com/yctxrr
 
To configure CentOS w/o X installed, you still need to install the vmware
tools. Edit the vmx file for your guest, tools.syncTime="TRUE". In
grub.conf, add clock=pmtmr as a kernel option. You'll need to shutdown the
guest OS, reload the vmx file, then restart the system.
 
If you have X running, then you can use the vmware tools much like windows
to configure time sync with the host system.
