Aftere doing the emerge, and starting /etc/init.d/vmware, I was told that cupsd had to be started after vmware but that some of the vmware dependencies required cupsd. Since I don't need to pring from the VM, I blew that off. I ran vmware-config.pl and set up the bridged networking. But after answering the questions, I get: * Starting VMware services: [ ok ] * Virtual machine monitor [ ok ] * Virtual ethernet [ !! ] * Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ !! ] (on my first attempt I configured the bridged and NAT networking, but I've re-run vmware-config.pl since then). When I ran vmplayer, I was told that it wasn't configured as /etc/vmware/not_configured was still in place. Just to see what would happen, I removed it and fired it up. There was a complaint about vmmon not being loaded, and it appeared that the install built vmmon.ko for kernel 2.6.15, rather than for 2.6.17, so I rebuilt it and installed the module. I re-ran vmplayer and I get errors that networking is not properly configured. Given the !! above, I'm not surprised. I think I'll need to go back to the beginning, but I'm not sure what to do differently that I might succeed. Anyone have any advice? -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
