Re: [Grml] Using VMware Workstation on GRML Linux

The problem is, how will I instruct it to boot the necessary VMware services on boot of GRML itself?
You unpack the tar (to /opt/vmware), and then run vmware-install.pl, which copies the files to the right places /usr/lib/vmware/, /etc/vmware/, /etc/init.d/...).
So basically I would say the procedure is the same as with any other linux distribution.
Okay, but is the vmware-install.pl script part of the origenal vmware.com workstation tarball hear? Or is this some Debian-specific package?
I also hope, that I will be able to simply do an grml-x gnome and have gnome launch directly and then run VMware workstation.
Gnome should have any kind of autostart.
You have to spesify a window manager to grml-x, correct prior to useing it? As in grml-x Gnome? Regards, --Keith

VMware. At least the server and the player contain it, I guess the workstation has it, too.

Sorry, never used X on GRML.
