downloaded them last night and nope... still no workie. Well, I even
hacked the vmware driver code so that I could get it to compile, however
it then could not find some modules. I then went about compiling a new
kernal, etc. etc...
??
well, at this point I'll twiddle with it a little more, but I am more
likely to install VNC on one of the other office machines and share the
source via samba, etc. than I am to spend another $100 on a VMWare
upgrade. Of course if they are willing to *give* me the upgrade then I
would spend a few days getting it working, but that is unlikely to
happen. No, at this point I think I am just a disgruntled customer
unlikely to ever buy, use, or promote thier product again.

no... never had. I started this machine on SuSE 6.1 and upgraded to
6.3, 7.0, 7.1 and then decided to try out RH. I can however reboot the
machine to SuSE 6.3/7.1 though... But then again, the Linux tools I am
using for the cross platform work (Qt 3.0.1, etc.) require a bunch of
stuff that cause me to just make it easy on myself and upgrade the OS.
So now I can either use VMWare on an old OS or run my cross platform
tools, but not both at the same time... wait a minuite, that is exactly
what I got VMWare to do!...

do you see my point?
