I was unaware of the vmware-update-2.6.27-5.5.7-2 patch. Last time I checked (~1.5 months ago) only the any-to-any patch was available and it didn't support kernels >= 2.6.26. B. Much like the any-to-any patch, (and at least according to google) this patch is unofficial. C. As I previously said, -officially-, VMWare doesn't support Fedora. [1] D. As you recall, the OP asked if can send a BZ about his SELinux problems in bugzilla.redhat.com - my original answer was rather simple: VMware is proprietary and closed source, and doesn't officially support Fedora.

Let me rephrase, the official VMWare 1.0.x release doesn't support F10.
