Mate, I had a tough enough time getting it to install/build properly on kernel 2.6.3-7 - and had to Google through the newsgroups to find a fix; luckily I did find one relatively quickly...didn't save the URL neither - sorry mate - but hey, Google is your friend... As well, have you hunted around on the VMWare site itself to see if they have any patches/fixes? -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales ----------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free and no viruses Registered Linux User # 267497 Windows: Where do you want to go today?
