so installed the open-vmware-tools-nox11 package... the vsphere ( the
client interface) detects it but it says VMWare Tools: Unmanaged. any
idea what that means?
i did try to install from source off the sourceforge site without x
and some other stuff but it's broken.....
thanks...

We've always used the open-vm-tools port

handful
of other drivers and modules, including the memory balloon driver.
If you only intend on using the vmware-guestd, vmxnet, and/or vmmemctl
(memory ballon driver), then you can build with "-DWITHOUT_DNET
-DWITHOUT_ICU -DWITHOUT_FUSE" to eliminate a few more dependencies.
Steve - that's excellent advice. I'll try out open-vm-tools-nox11 on
one of my VMs this afternoon and see how it goes. Thanks!!
