hi roger
I must say that VMware until version 6.0.2 does not support openSUSE 10.3 as host or guest. So to get it working, you will have to upgrade to VMware 6.0.1 at least. It must be understood however that even the version 6.0.2 and 6.0.1 have
only the EXPERIMENTAL support for openSUSE 10.3 hosts and guests.you may find some instability. I upgraded from 6.0 to 6.0.2 for the same reason and am facing more CPU usage than the version 6.0 which I ran on SLED.
I wonder why vmware would even need to support opensuse in so specific a fashion. It is a virtual environment that presents some virtual devices. Aside from the kernel, what else would vmware need that is SUSE-specific? At least to do the basic install. I cnn understand later installation of vmware code into the installed OS. But not for the basic OS install.
BTW, openSUSE 10.3 comes with VirtualBOX and you can install it from DVD> it is also a good virtualizer.
But then you need a 10.3 install into which you can install more virtual 10.3's, right? And you need to run them on 10.3.

Every time I try, the 10.3 install takes me to a character screen where I can set up partitions and all. Obviously there is something missing in the vmware environment. I choose a Linux/SUSE type client OS when setting up for the install. I am installing from a DVD ISO image file mounted on 10.0. Anyone installed 10.3 this way? I need to do some tests in preparation for implementing 10.3.
