I just downloaded vmware version 1.03 the .tar download. There were no
problems installing it however, only when I'm logged as the root user am I
able to create new virtual machine. Does anyone know how to correct this
problem?

Virtual machines are just files on your disk. Everyone who is to be
allowed to create a virtual machine needs write permission on the
directory where those files will be stored.

Thanks for your help, it gave me some insight but prior to reading that when
I installed vmware the second time, I created a folder in my home directory
for the virtual machines. However, I still got the error message that I am
not authorized to do that. I added myself to the disk group so I could have
full permissions to the hard drive.
The passage did not tell me how to allow an ordinary user to create a new
virtual machine.
