Hello,
I want to ask you if you have some experience with instalation VMware server 2 on Debian Squeeze 2.6.38. I followed this http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-insta...dora-opensuse/http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-insta...dora-opensuse/ guide, but I was unsuccessful. I installed all necessary packages.
- Debian Squeeze 2.6.38-bpo.2-686-bigmem
- linux-headers-2.6.38-bpo.2-686-bigmem
- build-essential (11.5 version)
The output of the script vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh is:
sudo ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh
You have VMware Server archive:
VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz
cat: /etc/*-release: Directory doesnt exits

Trying to compile vmnet module to see if it works

There is a problem compiling the vmnet module after it was patched.
If somebody knows how to install VMware server 2 to Debian 2.6.38, I will appreciate that.
Thanks a lot
