Automatically connect to console in Remote Desktop (OSX)
macosxhints.com - Automatically connect to console in Remote Desktop
When using Remote Desktop Client for Mac to connect to a Windows Server 2003 machine, you can hold down the Command key while pressing Connect to connect to the server's console session.
If you want to save your connection settings to a file, however, there is no option in the GUI to automatically use the console session. To do this, you will need to open up the saved connection file in your favorite text editor, and add the following line:
connect to console:i:1

In vmware fusion i installed SLES10 sp2 however when attempting to install the vmware tools there was no RPM install.
On vmware.com there is a link to download an ISO that contains the Linux VMware tools - you can download it from here or direct link to iso

Download .iso file
md5sum: 10ae80986e1532a188f8b93ad878945e
once downloaded, load up fusion and run SLES.
Click on Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > choose disk image
and select the iso file
