Of course we run Vmware 2 under emulation. So vmware 3 MUST be run under emulation. As has been said before, it probably runs but the setup program looks for too many linux specifics and doesn't generate a good config file. It just takes someone to figure out what it needs. On Wed, 28 Aug 2002,

Hi, sent this to -questions a week ago, got no response, so I'm asking again here: is it possible to run VMware 3 on -STABLE? If so, how? I noticed there is no port like there is for VMware 2, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks, --Stijn -- Help Wanted: Telepath. You know where to apply. msg3
