VMware's community forum is very active with Fedora and the other
Linux distros. The fixes for problems encountered with rawhide builds
were being discussed before FC5 was released.

VMware Player uses pre-built appliances. Installation would not be a
problem in this instance since someone has already done the
configuration and setup of FC5.
If the OP was using VMware Server he would have beta software hosting
beta software. In that instance I believe he would have mentioned that
he was using Server.
