VMWare on Linux

Although the user license for VMWare is expensive in respect to the open source software I typically use, it is worth every dollar. The installation was easy in Suse 9.3, just one caveat hindered the installation.

Before running vmware-config.pl execute the follow (you need to have the kernel sources installed).

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare

You can also read documentation your system vendor prepared for you about 3rd party kernel modules. It is located in /usr/src/linux/README.SUSE.
