VMWare server on Fedora 6 (FC6)


StumbleUpon Toolbar

I have got this info from a spanish site
http://chgonzalez.blogspot.com/2006/11/instalar-vmware-server-en-fedora-core-6.html
So the thanks to Christian González G.

You need to be root at first.

Then run this

#yum update
#yum install kernel-devel xinetd gcc

now go to ntsysv and make sure that xinetd will start each time you start the server, and start it now.

#/etc/init.d/xinetd start

Now get the VMware from here

#wget [url from the site]

Register yourself and get the serial (It is free)

#tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz

Now you need to do this.

#touch /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/linux/linux.h

It could be needed also to perform this operation.

#cp /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/config/i2o/config.h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/linux/

Be sure to replace 2.6.8.18-1.2849.fc6-i686 with your kernel version.

Now go to the vmware direcotory and execute the install script.
#cd vmware-server-distrib
#./vmware-install.pl

Should be enough.
