Ok so here is my porblem.
I got vmware installed just fine, but when I try to install a guest operating system, I can't get vmware to boot from disk. The vmware instructions suggest making an iso of the OS and boot from there. I tried that it also didn't work. I went to the wiki site and read about a patch. However, once the patch is installed vmware-config.pl will not build the vmmon module.

I have read the forums and apparently quite a few people have got vmware working. I am using the lastest version of Ubuntu. Does anyone have any idea why I can't get vmware to work, any help will be much appreciated. :)
