Guys, when I reported my success with VMware 2.0.3 on SuSE 7.1
I forgot to mention that I followed the article from SuSE Support
database http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/pohletz_vmware_initscript.html
(VMware on SuSE Linux 7.1: The Position of Initialskripts has changed)

The article is  dated Feb. 14, 2001.

The recommended solution is exactly what mk did:
	cd /etc/init.d
	ln   -s   .   init.d
