Interesting. Does /etc/vmware/locations exist? It appears to be built by
the vmware-config.pl script.
The latest vmware-any-any-104 patch causes the VMware menu items to
disappear from Applications -> System Tools, which is why I tried without
it. The vmware-config.pl build works fine and vmware runs fine without
the patch on my system.
I don't seem to be able to do Netware logins from my virtual WinXP, but
that's a topic for another thread.
