Hello,

I finally got the latest VMwareTools-9.6.1-1378637.tar.gz (VMWareWorkstation 10.0.1)to compile with the Linux Kernel 3.13.0 and run properly on the latestKnoppix 7.3.0 using

https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches

except that the very useful /mnt/hgfs shared folder does dot workproperly:ls -al /mnt/hgfs ==> ls: cannot open directory /mnt/hgfs: Not adirectoryAll suggestions are welcome (besides waiting for the next VMware Toolsrelease)

Thanks,
Gilles
