That "any-any patch seems to have done the trick! See the output below:-
Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
   Virtual ethernet                                        [  OK  ]
   Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0                       [  OK  ]
   Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background)        [  OK  ]
   Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background)        [  OK  ]
   NAT service on /dev/vmnet8                              [  OK  ]

The configuration of VMware Server 1.0.1 build-29996 for Linux for this
running
kernel completed successfully.

Now how do I use it ;-) Any links on manuals and websites on setting up
a windoz virtual machine for a idiot newbie gratefully accepted.And a
BIG thanks to all who helped in getting it installed and running. I
certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without your help.
