I have installed VMWare 3.0 beta on my 7.2 machine today. You no longer need the 'special' vmmon patch but you need the kernel headers installed. When you install vmware, it will tell you it cannot find a proper module and offer to build one for you. Say yes and make sure the path it shows you is the correct one.
There is also a bug I found in the installation. If you had version 2 running and you did not shut it down manually, the installation program does not remove the already loaded vmware modules and when it tries to load the new version it fails and tells you it could not find a proper module for your kernel.
As an added note, be sure to read the installation notes about the tools. There are definite steps to go through to get the new video driver installed. Part of which includes getting a blue screen and about 4 reboots. As an additional note, have once successfully installed the video driver, I had further driver problems later and finally scrapped any attempt to use 3.0 Beta. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
