same problem here

cybertorture · 2010-06-29 14:34:49

well collegue, it seems we must combine our thoughts about this issue

i did understand moduless thing , but i cant understand that why startup script is not where it is supposed to be , actually i dont seem to find it anywhere - and that make me little surprised Oo

"/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/vmware"

any ideas why its not there ? Oo

How are you installing vmware?

cybertorture · 2010-06-29 22:20:29

both graphical and console end up same way, also i manualy create /etc/rc.d/vmware/rc1.d-6d - refer to wiki and forum guides
