I was just gonna try VMware. I downloaded the compressed tar version 2.0.3 for Linux hosts.
You can't get it to install under 7.1.
[snip] and if you're anything like me you were only trying because with the *suse* VMWare package installed vmware-config.pl wouldn't compile the vmnet modules and moaned about alsa? The fix is to fake it. I did this: ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/init.d then run vmware-config.pl and give it /etc/init.d The correct thing to happen would be for VMWare to change their product to cope with SuSE as the latter is being LSB compliant. BTW make sure that it's properly deinstalled first - I got very confused when for some reason I ended up with two sets of links to it in /etc/init.d/rc5.d. -- Rachel
