You're going to need to install the kernel sources and header files - I think they're on CD3 - but could be on CD2 - either which, once you get the kernel sources and headers installed, you can then safely run the config script for VMWare without any further hassles. I manually added the kernel sources because I didn't want to depend on the Mandrake Control Centre and the Software Manager - but someone else might have a better way of doing the installation of the kernel sources... -- Mon, 3 Mar 2003 09:40:00 +1100 9:40am up 4 days, 23:43, 5 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ You never ever volunteered.
