Hi, As I upgraded my server from 4.11 to 5.4, I reinstalled VMware3. Here is the step I had to take. 1. Add kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf 2. Add AIO support in kernel, and reboot. 3. Have all the necessary files in /usr/ports/distfiles and make install 4. Update /usr/X11R6/lib/vmware/bin/vmware using vmware-any-any-update42 5. Set up /usr/X11R6/etc/vmware/config Tada! And, it's up and ruuning now. I shoudl mention that, I do not use any devices other than disk and ethernet, and, that's all I need. No sound, no usb, no video, no floppy. I used ISO image for the installation of RedHat 9 on it. Of all the installations of VMware I have done before, this one was the easiest. Since all other messages were "it does not work.", it's probably a fresh change to know that it's working for a person. -- Naoyuki "Tai" Tai, ntai a t smartfruit d o t com
