Install & Run VMware Server on CLI Server

[doogy2004]

Does anyone know what you packages are required for VMware Server to run on a Command Line Only Server? Is the install different from the gui install requirements?

This really a question to post on the VMware support boards. The experts are there. To give you a bit of info, yes you can, but you still have to have the X server installed as VMware depends on some of its resources. You don't have to actually start the X server. I know of a number of people who have done this, but again post on the VMware board for specifics
