Really, there is a file /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/df, but during the installation of the port, I think I haven't seen any instructions telling to prepend /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin to the $PATH. > > > 2) how to deal with the vmware's attempt to find /dev/tty4 > > or so > > Ditto.

I wrote a mention of that issue in Hints.FreeBSD. Excellent. There are not pointers from README to this file, however, so I couldn't know about its existence. Thanks again.
