AFAIK, VMware Workstation 7 / Player 3 have a feature named "Easy 
Install" when the "New VM Wizard" detect Fedora, it insert a second CD 
into the VM which have a kickstart containing the settings used in the 
Wizard but unfortunately the generated kickstart have a syntax error.

The solution is to choose "Install system later" and then insert the 
Fedora ISO/CD/DVD

PS.
In my experience only Windows guest can be installed with "Easy 
Install", BTW now I'm running KVM, only my laptop run VMware Player 3 on 
Fedora 14 (no VT).
