Bug#724574: please document what the modules are needed for



Package: open-vm-tools-dkms
Severity: minor

Hi,

from trying, it looks like Open-vm-tools work fine with basic
functionality if one does not install the kernel modules inside the VM.

Please document (for example in the package description) what
functionality is lost if one runs open-vm-tools without the kernel
modules. This is necessary for the local admin to take an informed
decision.

Greetings
Marc
