You can skip the installation steps (modules_install and install) if you want. After you do this, install vmware - it works great.
Actually, the necessary and sufficient steps on SUSE are:
make cloneconfig make prepare vmware-config.pl
Much faster than bzImage and modules.

Apparently, I do not completely get it. I followed this to try to install VM on new 9.2 installation and get error messages. While running vmware-config.pl I got to the line where it says no current module is ok so then asks to make a module. I said yes, and then the errors began with the conclusion that it could not build module. Should I have run make modules and make modules-install after make cloneconfig and make prepare? I seem to recall some earlier discussion, that I did not save, about there being an appropriate module/better module already included in SuSE and to use this instead. Is this so? Where and how? Thanks for any assistance. Richard
