Ubuntu/VMWare Fusion Problem

I have installed Ubuntu 64-bit on my Mac using VMware Fusion. The installation went without a hitch. However, I am having trouble installing VMTools.

I'm sure I have to configure this by booting up as root, but I am pretty stuck from then on.

Anyone with experience of this issue?

Thanks nixgeek. I shall work through this in the morning.

P.S. Installing Windows XP was pretty painless.
