I have recognized the two lines containing [msg.vmmonPosix.badVersion] [msg.vmmonPosix.badDriver] but I do not know, what to do, to fix it. All the *.deb files were built with the vmware-any-any-update113.tgz from the website mentioned in the README.Debian within the vmware-package. Kernel-headers fit the running kernel, also the make-vmpkg had no output containing errors. When I install vmware-server and the any-any-113 patch by hand, not the Debian way, everything works fine. Another problem is, that the vmware-server Debian package seems not to provide multiple bridged interfaces, no multiple NAT-interfaces, and something very annoying, it does NOT provide a way to set the data-dir to something other than /srv/vmware. This should be possible with the debconf interface in an easy way. Also, the mui-package can have a different port than 902 when running vmware-config-mui.pl, which is not available in the Debian package. Why are those vmware-config*.pl files no longer available? Is there an important issue to remove them from the sources? What about providing the same functionality through debconf? This would really be very important, if you want your package to be useable in production environment. As you know you may ask for any further information that can help improve the package. regards Daniel PS: if you want to have a look at the logs/output of make-vmpkg commands, then you will find them here: http://tirolinux.net/~daniel/vmware-build.txt -- Daniel Knabl www.tirolinux.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP/GPG Fingerprint - please send signed mail only A069 671B 39F2 E9B9 FB34 68BB 4BEC 1344 C8A4 3F0B
