Incase you can't get the VMware tools install mounted as cdrom using the Virtual Center GUI, there is a easy workaround you can use.
From the guest virtual machine, sftp to the ESX server host and for default install paths go to /vmimages/tools-isoimages.
Get linux.iso from here and quit from sftp.
On the guest linux, su and then create a tmp folder(or whatever you want to call it).
mkdir tmp
Mount the iso by using the following command:
mount -o loop linux.iso tmp
then you can "cd tmp"
Run the rpm installer from here and for other linux, copy the .gz file to your home folder.
From their you should be able to install the vmware tools.
