Fixed, thought I had to do a lucky dip on the kernel files and hope I had the 
right one.  Now if only this messge will show up on the list.  I haven't 
received any for hours from this list, newbie or expert.  What's up?

All the kernel files on Cooker are produced by the Cooker kernel-source
file. If you're a normal user just get the basic kernel package, if you
have multiple processors get kernel-smp, if you have over a gig of
memory get kernel-enterprise...they're just the same kernel with
different compilation options. But you don't need to go downloading
stuff manually, you should be using urpmi...

Where are the sources to go with..

Hi Trevor,

I am running VMWare with 9.1. It's generally /usr/src/linux where linux
is a symlink to your kernel sources. If it's not there, your kernel
sources are not installed and you'll need to install them.

Cheers,

Kernel-headers are different from kernel-source. To compile kernel
modules you need the kernel-source package. Kernel-headers have been
renamed to glibc-headers to avoid the confusion.

They are in RC1.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bgmilne]$ urpmq --sources kernel-source
removable://mnt/cdrom/RPMS3/kernel-source-2.4.21-0.pre4.6mdk.i586.rpm

Don't use 'rpm -Uvh kernel-source*.rpm', use 'urpmi kernel-source' or
use the package manager. ncurses-devel is provided by libncurses5-devel,
but any decent package management tool know this, and will install it
for you when you ask for ncurses-devel (and thus if you ask for
kernel-source).

Please be careful when giving advice that you give the *correct* advice.

The problem maybe that the kernel headerfiles are not installed. They are not 
on the CDs. I anywhere from cooker. After installing those you find the 
directory '/usr/src/linux/include/...'. (When installing the kernel header 
files i was asked after ncurses-devel, baut I could not find this rpm on 
cooker or the isos, therefore I installed 'rpm -Uhv --nodeps).

After installing the kernel header files I could install and run vmware3.2.

I've done it successfully on a 9.1B3 and RC1 machine. Just install the correct 
kernel-source rpm and basically accept all defaults that VMWare gives you, 
and you should be fine.
