As the root user, mount the CD in the virtual machine by issuing the following commands at a shell prompt:
Copy Linux Integration Services to the virtual machine. For example:
As the root user, run the following command to compile and install the synthetic drivers. A reboot is required after installation.

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Copy Linux Integration Services to the virtual machine. For example:
mkdir /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm
cp –R /mnt/cdrom/* /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm
As the root user, run the following command to compile and install the synthetic drivers. A reboot is required after installation.
cd /opt/linux_ic_v21_rtm/
make
make install
reboot
and congrats, you have a Linux OS running in Microsoft Hyper-V.
