on fairly short notice, i'd like to get the latest version of vmware workstation (release 6030, downloading as we speak) running on my inspiron 8100, under FC 1. i'm flexible as to whether i run, as a guest OS, win2k or win xp, the main goal is to be running (ugh!) MS word -- sadly, openoffice won't quite do the job here, but the main thing is to get the OS up and running.
I had absolutely no problem on an 8200 with VMWare and FC1. If you don't do
CC=gcc23 vmware-config.pl
you get warnings that may or may not matter, I ran it successfully without doing the CC= bit for some time before I bacame aware of that workaround for the compiler mismatch and reconfigured it.
