Where can I find a patch to permit running VMware Workstation 9 with the most recent Fedora-19 Kernel? My effort with Google produced nothing I had confidence in. The VMware app. is convenient to use as well as expensive but I'm beginning to think it's not a good choice for those of us running Fedora.

why do you ask the same question again already answered a few weeks ago?

Because we are dealing with 3.11 now, that you understand. The patch you suggested for 3.10 works fine but all I could find is this Slackware patch and I wasn't certain it was applicable to fedora-19/64 bit, apparently you are saying it is? Good!
However I have not found how to download the patch and I'm stuck there. If you can explain how to do that I will install it.
Thank you,
Bob

i posted you the link, you only need to read and follow
https://www.google.at/search?q=vmware+workstation+kernel+3.11 http://slackblogs.blogspot.co.at/2013/09/linux-kernel-311-vmware-workstation...
there is a blue text "vmware-3.11 SlackHacks Repository" which is also a link https://github.com/willysr/SlackHacks/tree/master/vmware/vmware-3.11
and there is a instruction: 1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source 2. tar xvf vmblock.tar 3. cd vmblock-only 4. patch -p1 < /path/to/vmblock-3.11.patch 5. cd .. 6. tar cvf vmblock.tar vmblock-only/ 7. vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

I need to know how to download this patch:

Do I have to copy this into a text editor and create it?

Ok, "RAW" meant nothing to me. I see it now. Do I copy all of that into a file named vmblock-3.11.patch?
I would like to do it right the first time around ...

the way how you act with help is cheeky because you always expect completly done solutions and even if you get them served you are too lazy to look around

Harry, I really appreciate your help, you just get me a bit upset trying to follow you.
I know from experience that you always come up with the answers ...
Thanks much,
Bob

File->Save Page As...
and put it wherever you think is appropriate as the default name is already what you want.

Joe, wget worked fine. I have a fedora 19 VM running with kernel 3.11 now, thanks to Harry's help. He's a rough instructor but he usually has the answers.
Thanks,
Bob
