Thanks for answers but they don't solve my problem (but they are very good hints for later operations). I downloaded the VMware-2.0.4-1142.tar.gz from their site. I read the INSTALL file where it is written: To install/upgrade VMware for Linux, run the program "vmware-install.pl". But I didn't find any file vmware-install.pl(only an uninstall file). Where did you find it? Dan
