Greetings, First off, I do not have a floppy drive installed. I'm on 4.8, running vmware2 (ports) and currently trying to install the toolbox. I first started by installing: emulators/vmware-tools2, and that installs fine, but tells me that i need to install emulators/linux-vmware-toolbox. This is where i get stuck. I try installing it, and it tries mounting /dev/fd0 in which i don't have. I've tried setting up my floppy drive in vmware as a file pointing to /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/floppies/linux.flp. I boot up win2k and it tells says "Please select Settings > Cancel VMware Tools Install and press Reset. (I'm assuming nothing went right...) I do this, and it asks me to do it again. So, what I'm wondering is, when do i install the linux-vmware-toolbox? Hope that made some sense... Good Day
