    You have combined two commands into one line (just as I could have done with my two commands), but really it's the same amount of work in the cli.

    Though honestly, for the moment I'm stumped while trying to install VMware server 2 in 64 bit. Vmware is still looking in the wrong place for the gcc pointers and thinks my kernel was compiled against gcc version 4.2.3 instead of 4.2.4.

    Ugh, this is always a pain every time a kernel update comes down the pike.
    I do agree that this script is not fully required anymore, but for the casual user that wants VMware up and running quick, there is no other way but to use the command line. Even for VMware Server 2.0, people are having troubles getting it started. If VMware decided to release fully working .debs that didn't need to be recompiled after every kernel update, then there would be no problem. Until that happens, people can use my script for the 1.0.x series.

    If you'd like to update the script and send me your revisions, please feel free to do so.

    Has this script been broken by the latest kernel? (I am running stock i386 8.10 ubuntu) It gets as far as attempting to build the server, then borks on the compile:

    Re: HOWTO: Install VMware Server in Hardy (and later)

    You guys are using Intrepid and the script is only for Hardy. You shouldn't need my script in Intrepid...

    Well, it doesn't need VMware-any-any, so I've heard.

    Should I be updating it for Intrepid and remove VMware-any-any?

    The same message here!
    Well, I got the same problem as you guys, Running I386 Ubuntu 8.10. I thought it would actually work when I got the icons and everything. Now I dont have a glue what to do? Im actually impressed that I managed to open the tar.gz files and almost made a complete installation. Not bad for a beginner who doesnt know much about Ubuntu.

    Would be grateful to the one who can help me(us) with this!

    Build it without the script. It will complain about a gcc version conflict, but if you tell it to compile anyway, it will work.

    The any-any file cannot be found at the URL in the tutorial!

    http://uruz.org/files/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz

    Just thought I'd point that out. Otherwise the install worked great (after downloading the any-any from another location) thanks!

    Re: HOWTO: Install VMware Server in Hardy (and later)

    If I understood it correctly, I shouldn't have to download the tar file if it's already in the home directory. I did that, and the script still downloaded it.

    ....then I messed up what I was doing before the install was complete and had to run the script again and it had to RE-download the file. Takes over 30 minutes with my connection so it's time consuming...

    If the filename is 'VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.tar.gz' and in the directory that the script is running in, then it should not download the file again. I did this just for dial-up and DSL users.
