All,
I finally got my VMware Server 1.0.6 installed on Fedora 8!
Here's what I did:
- I followed the instructions I found on http://fedorasolved.org/server-solutions/vmserver-install - exactly including the one-liner for Fedora 9. I rebooted the machine and then removed the kernel-devel that didn't match the uname -r listed in step 8.
Probably because I think the last few (6?) Fedora 8 kernels are now 2.6.25 kernels, when the previous ones were 2.6.24 kernels. So, now F8 and F9 need the same changes? Perhaps the FedoraSolved page needs updating?
- When it failed at step 32 (as it had in the past), I then performed the process listed in 'Doing the work' steps 1 and 1 (not a mistake, there is no step 2) and applied the patch for the vmnet-only.
- I then executed the vmware-config.pl found in /usr/bin
All seems to be working except in KDE3, the VMware Server Console wasn't added to the menus
Thanks for everyone's help! Gene Poole
Glad you got it working!
