Mark, That much is usually true; when VMware Server installs, depending on your method, if it can't find a set of kernel modules which load cleanly into your running kernel, it will attempt to build the modules needed. For that you will need your kernel dev/header packages and all compiler tools, but that's pretty much it. You can remove them when you're done, but keep in mind you may need to rebuild the modules any time you upgrade your kernel image. katsu On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 11:22 AM, mark <m.roth2006@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Paul M.
