Note
VMware WS 4.5.2 is known to work on Fedora Core 3 after the following workarounds are used:
*
You must upgrade the kernel modules and configuration using the unofficial vmware-any-any-* toolkit available from:
http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
*
After vmware-config.pl is run and the VMware modules are loaded, the following command creates the /sys/class/* nodes needed for udev:
cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/
|
Once you get the download:
Code:
$ wget http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update86.tar.gz
Code:
$ tar xvzf vmware-any-any-update86.tar.gz ; cd vmware-any-any-update86 ; ./runme.pl
Code:
$ cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/
Answer the questions, and install some guest OS's.
