VMware Tools and Fedora 8
VMware Worsktation 6's WMware Tools provides both binary RPM and a source code level tar.gz installation files. The RPM installation doesn't work with Fedora 8 (Linux) because it isn't recognized in its list. The code extracted from the tar.gz file (a Perl installation script) doesn't recognize Fedora 8 either. However, it offers the option of compiling the source code for the unrecognized Linux distro. This seems to result in a functional VMware Tools installation. At least VMW6 reports VMware Tools installed successfully in the bottom border after rebooting Fedora 8.
