thanks,
$ rpm -qf `which vmware`
VMwareWorkstation-4.5.2-8848
$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.9-1.667
works without the *any-any-* toolkit
the only thing i had to do is
# cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices
as described in the release-notes
-------
$ grep -3i vmware /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en
Note
VMware WS 4.5.2 is known to work on Fedora Core 3 after the following
workarounds are used:
o You must upgrade the kernel modules and configuration using the
unofficial vmware-any-any-* toolkit available from:
[5]http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
o After vmware-config.pl is run and the VMware modules are loaded, the
following command creates the /sys/class/* nodes needed for udev:
cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/
