When installing Debian 7 in a VMware VM, installing VMware Tools can be a bit of a conundrum. This page explains how to sort it:
When finalising the install, you can get the following message
"Media change: please insert the disc labeled ’Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 _Wheezy_ – Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20130504-14:44′ in the drive ‘/media/cdrom/’ and press enter".
I found the solution to this here: http://www.jermsmit.com/tag/linux/
"Fixing this was a simple task. All that was needed was to remove or comment the reference to the CD/DVD from the /etc/apt/sources.list
Example: #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 _Wheezy_ – Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20130$
steps are:
log into your debian system
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list – sudo if you are not logged in as root
#comment out the line in the above example – saving the file (ctrl x) enter y for yes"
