I used them throughout FC4 with VMWare 5.0 to great results. > The way to install tools in a linux guest, IMHO, is selecting "install > vmware tools", mount the cd in the guest, untgz and build the tools. > That should take care of the entire thing. Actually, I installed the RPM, which I would consider preferable in an RPM-based distro. ;-) Works just as well: 1. Mount CD manually (mount /media/cdrom) 2. run: su -c 'rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/VMWare*rpm' (you can't use yum because the RPM is not signed -- this is not a big deal since the package from whence the CD files come is, itself, signed) 3. run: su -c 'vmware-config-tools.pl' (need kernel-devel and gcc installed) -- Paul W.
