Anyone knows how to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on F13?

I thought so too. But after many hours of trying I found only xen
paravirt worked, sort of. The speed is crawling, and there is no
screen scaling, 800X600 only.

[root at localhost xyz123]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 6
22:32:17 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
With a cpu does not support paravirt:
CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  E2140  @ 1.60GHz stepping 0b

If you think there is hope to get either KVM or xen to work on my
machine, then let's try it.
Thanks.
