10:45 PM ::
I just installed VMplayer. I was never able to get VMware-Server working on my laptop and all I really need is something that can create and run virtual machines, which VMplayer can do. It's also free. I followed the instructions here. Under step 9, replace the /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in /etc/rc.d/vmware. Also in step 9, the script that it suggests downloading for kernel26-2.6.35 "and" VMware7.1.1, it's really "and/or", so it is necesary if you're installing VMplayer with kernel 2.6.35. Then run modconfig script. Also, note that VMware depends on the HAL daemon to be running. This caused me some frustration because I don't use HAL anymore now that it's been deprecated.
That's all for now.
