[Mike Coan <mikecoan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have read a number of messages (plus info on the web) regarding vmware 4 and 
suse 9.0 indicating that the combination can be made to work.  Just want to 
make sure I have the procedure correct.

I am going to do a clean install of 9.0 (saving my virtual disk from my 
Windows NT virtual machine).  As part of that install I wil inlude km_vmware, 
the SuSE kernel modules (even though they are for vmware 3)

After I install vmware and run vmware-config.pl, i will be asked If i want to 
overwrite teh modules.  I reply no, and then it will complete the 
installation.

Is this correct?  Previously I have received the message, under 8.2, that the 
no previously compiiled module will run, do i want to compile a new module.  
It then asks for header files and compiles new modules.  i always assumed 
that if I answered no, the installation would stop.  Apparently this is not 
the case.

Thanks.

Mike
