************************************************************ Add the following entry to /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and you can play with VMware after the next boot. Or hit the following commands to play now. :) /sbin/mount_linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh start Also, consider making a link /compat/linux/tmp if your /tmp doesn't have sufficient free space or is slow. VMware uses /tmp to back the VM's memory. e.g. ln -s /usr/tmp /compat/linux/tmp ************************************************************
