I have solved the problem. I DID NOT use Volker's script again. I
Ehhm, I don't think I gave any scripts for vmware?
I have the article from Volker Kuhlmann "Installing VMware express 2.0.4 on SuSE Linux 7.3".
Is that article ok, and valid also for the VMware Workstation 3.0 ??.
It clearly states at the top that it is intended for 2.0.4, that means if you use it for 3.0 (with which you expect significant changes) you can't blame it on errors in the text if it doesn't work. Personally I won't get 3.0 soon as it's far too $$$$$ for the odd bit of quick M$ compatibility. For any substantial jobs I prefer native apps... My take is that some parts (of the writeup) will not be required or stuff things up, whereas other parts (e.g. the kernel header issue) will still require the same attention. View the text as a "good start", but with each step find out whether it's required before doing it. HTH a bit Volker
