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
