I found that website, but, it wasn't so self-evident. How does one 'install 
the vmware tools first' as you state? I normally open a vm after I've got 
vmware server running, and it boots up and gives me a message about needing to 
install or update vmware tools, and that's when I install vmware tools. How 
are you doing that first - or better, I should ask, what do you mean by first? 
First before what? Before installing the vmware package?

Are you simply installing the open-vm-tools from the tarball? 

What advantage are you gaining by doing things that way? My vm's run just fine 
the way I'm doing it now - what improvement should I expect by learning the 
method you suggest?
