vmware and kernel build

[Neil Marjoram]

Just a note on this, we have some odd results with VMWare. We could not 
get it to work well even using the release notes, so we thought we would 
download the latest version from VMware - turned out to  be the same 
build number but a different date to our original file. The new file 
installed and worked first time without any extra work suggested in the 
release notes. I haven't been able to spare enough time to prove this as 
yet.
