I think I've got an idea regarding our problem with installing the vmware-tools in OpenBSD 4.4 on VmServer 2.0 and Workstation 6.5.1. Someone wrote that it works with OpenBSD 4.4 and VmServer 1.0.8, so OpenBSD 4.4 isn't the problem (as mostly ;-) ) I think we (Laurens, Linus and myself) have started with creating a new vm in VmServer 2.0 or WS 6.5 and then installed the tools via cd-emulation. The problem might be the hardware version/product compability: We have version 7 and Vmserver 1.0 uses version 4. Another point would be to try the vmware-tools.tar.gz from server 1.0 (Markus wrote they are statically linked, so maybe we can use them also in our new vm) guido
