Alternately, install the i686 versions of the kernel and kernel-devel RPM packages. The most convenient way to upgrade is to use the command: rpm -Uvh --force <rpm package file name> This will replace files and clean up old versions. You can then install and configure VMware Workstation using the i686 kernel. Cheers, Chris ==================================== In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
