Excellent!

I'm not sure what the problem is. Everything seems to install and
compile/configure (vmware-config.pl) without issues. But then I can't
login to the Web interface at all. Closer inspection shows that several
services come up as dead. After rebooting, the startup messages show
that the system is not properly configured and about half of the
services show that they failed to start (others do start though).
Re-running vmware-config.pl shows everything re-configuring just fine
and services starting, but in reality they still show up as being dead.

I'm running the 32-bit version of F9 with this system. It's an older
due-processor Intel Xeon server that doesn't have 64-bit support.

I'm traveling this week too, so I won't be able to do anything with this
system for a few days as well... :)

If I could just get an idea of what needs to be there and what doesn't,
I'm sure that would help a lot...

Cheers,

Chris
