Awesome guide!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. It helped me a lot. I don't think I would have been able to do this without it.

I just got the same error as mmcmonster on feisty. Has anyone succeeded in installing vmware server for feisty?

I found some information in this thread...
http://www.vmware.com/community/thre...71986&tstart=0
The any-any update is at 109 now, and there is a link in the thread to another thread that sheds some more light.
This got me further than the first error, however, I still have not been able to install it fully. If someone with fiesty follows the link I posted and gets it to work, please post back

i am running feisty and vm ware works perfectly. However, I only have Xubuntu and Fedora Core 6 in it, so if the errors are related to having windows, i wouldn't know.
Edit: sorry im running vbox, not vm ware...

Somebody said, "If you've got it you got it, if you don't you don't." That person was dead wrong.
I'm running Edgy and trying to get this to work.
What is running vmware supposed to do? Running the application from the menu just exits, so I ran the command-line. Initially, I got the errors about libpng.so and copied in gcc.so and libpng.so libs into the vmware/lib dir.
Now, when I run vmware it just sits there. Nothing happens. I cannot ctrl-C out of it, either?
I haven't read the entire thread, but there's the VMWare Convertor tool that will convert your existing XP Machine into a VMWare machine so that you can "take it with you" after you switch the machine to Ubuntu.
It's actually exactly perfect for what I believe you're looking for. I haven't tried it yet, but HowToForge has a howto on it. lemme know if you can't find the link. please post your experience here
I followed these instructions on the first page of this thread and all went well until I went to create a Virtual Machine. While creating my virtual disk the machines freezes up around 30-35% and I have to do a hard shut down/reboot in order to get it back. Any ideas on why this is happening?
