a short progress report on my travels this far, getting vmware workstation up and running on FC1. no, i'm not done but i thought i'd share if anyone else wanted to try this.
starting with the newest vmware WS 4.0.5, on a system running kernel 2.6.0-test10, first, following the instructions, i made sure that the kernel has:
* RTC support * parallel port support as a *module*
next, install the WS rpm, and edit /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, and, because of 2.6 kernel, "/proc/ksyms" -> "/proc/kallsyms".
in addition, because of 2.6 kernel, download a tarball of vmware updates: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update43.tar.gz, unload and run "runme.pl", which will do a little patching and ask if you want to continue on and run "vmware-config.pl", which i did.
that's as far as i got right now, but it's worth noting that i didn't have to hack any more than this. no other changes to /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, and no need to change the CC variable to use the older compiler.
so, as soon as i pull a copy of win2k out of storage, it's on to "/usr/bin/vmware".
thoughts? further advice?

- onboard sound doesn't seem to work, apparently it does in 2.6 with
ALSA, I didn't try very hard with this in 2.4
the sound works well in 2.4 kernel but you have to plug the audio output were the microfone usualy goes because of the 5.1 chanells of the sound card and turn the microfone volume to mute. I didn't figure it out how to switch them to normal.
Ahh. This could be why I couldn't get ALSA to work either. I'll have to try it. Thanks
