Re: Install of VMware
Hi,
my suggestion is that you do what other helpful
souls have already said:
uname -r (or a for the full listing)
to find which kernel you're running.
And then get online go to a prompt and type
apt-get install kernel-source.2.2.XX
After that installs you should find
kernel-source.2.2.XX.tar.gz. in your /usr/src
directory.
Expand that w/ the command:
tar -zxvf kernel-source.2.2.XX.tar.gz
(Remember to :
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source.2.2.XX /usr/src/linux)
After that run:
vmware-config.pl
and answer any prompts w/ the default answers (if you
have changed them and can't remember the default
answers, delete your vmware-distrib directory and
recreate it and re-install.)
It should work for you after that!
