Even though VMWare's error message makes it sound like one of these "set
of all sets that are not subsets of themselves" logic problems,
what the brain-damaged install script wants to find is the path
/sbin/init.d/init.d   and under /sbin/init.d/  it also expects to find
rc0.d through rc6.d

This means that in /sbin/init.d you should mkdir this extra init.d
directory and also all directories rc0.d through rc6.d that don't happen
to already be there because SuSE doesn't happen to use them. When you have
mkdir'ed all these required empty subdirectories under /sbin/init.d/, then
the VMWare script will operate correctly.

There had to have been a more intelligent way to set up the install, but
at least VMWare  generally works once the install is done.

Cheers,
