Hi michael,
I believe that if you type "Esc" or "q" or "Enter" (sorry bad memory), it will quit the EULA text and you will be able to accept it. I never installed vmplayer but I did install several times VMWare (though I never read the EULA ;-)) Be sure that kernel source and gcc are installed and do as root : /usr/src/linux/make cloneconfig /usr/src/linux/make prepare
before running the vmware-config.pl script and after every kernel update or patch.
I hope this will help
(cannot try it right-now I have important stuff running on the virtual machine !!)
Matthias Having managed to accept the EULA and issuing the commands you specified the config ends with the following Building the vmmon module.
