vmware starts a number of processes with different names that run in the background to support the main vmware process when you run it. These vmware support processes are also set to start up every time you boot.
OK.
Here's a quick an dirty way to do it with a reboot:
First, exit KDE; then, from a root console:
# rm /etc/init.d/vmware # shutdown -r now # rpm -e VMware
Since the script the starts the support processes has been removed, they will not be running after the reboot.
Well I did try the what you have suggested, but had no luck :-( execution of VMware-2.0.4-1133 script failed, exit status 127 shamrock:~ # The above was what I got after the rpm -e VMware.
Good luck, Dwight
