VMware (setup and configuration on Arch)

I'm relatively new to Arch and I have allot to catch up. After long hours googli'ng "vmware setup on arch" and other keywords I figured I needed help so I signed up to this forum hoping somebody (expert) will empart their knowledge to a newbie. Here's what I've done so far.

1. Downloaded vmware using pacman.

Any help in setup and configuration on running vmware on arch will be much appreciated.

thanks,

You can also look at vmware-player, vmware-server, vmware-workstation 6 and      vmware-ws5 from AUR.

Re: VMware (setup and configuration on Arch)

I installed both vmware-server-1.0.4 and 1.0.3 but the first version I can not recommend.
as a Arch host I was not able to install ArchLinux as a Virtual machine. With Version VMware-server-1.0.3-44356 it works.
If anyone can confirm my experience.
