Please visit http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/doc/quickstart_linux/install.html
for help on getting started installing VMware Workstation.
_____________________________________________________________________________
INSTALLING/UPGRADING
To install/upgrade VMware Workstation for Linux, run the program "vmware-install.pl".
You must have super user privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.
./vmware-install.pl
If you are installing VMware Workstation for the first time, you can hit the <enter> key
each time you are prompted to select the factory default answer. By default,
the installation program installs:
the executables in /usr/bin,
the manual pages in /usr/man,
the library files in /usr/lib/vmware,
and the documentation files in /usr/doc/vmware.
If you have previously installed VMware Workstation, you can hit the <enter> key each
time you are prompted to keep your previous answer, or you can decide to
submit a new answer.
Once the installation/upgrade is complete, you can safely remove the
vmware-distrib directory from your system.
CONFIGURING
In order to run correctly, VMware Workstation must first be configured.
To configure VMware Workstation, run the program "vmware-config.pl" (this is
automatically done for you at the end of the installation/upgrade
process if you answer "yes" to the last question). You must have super user
privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.
vmware-config.pl
This will teach VMware Workstation how to run on your current Linux kernel.
If you reboot your machine with a new kernel that VMware Workstation doesn't know yet
(because, let's say, you have upgraded your Linux system), you will have
to run this configuration program again. Then, VMware Workstation will know this new
kernel once and for all.
______________________________________________________________________________
UNINSTALLING
To remove an existing installation, run the program "vmware-uninstall.pl".
You must have super user privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.
vmware-uninstall.pl
The uninstall process will delete all installed files, and will backup the
files that have been modified since they have been installed.
