FC4 or 5 and VMWare Server


Has anyone installed the new (and free) VMWare Server under FC4 or %? If so, how did it go and any advice?

Thanks

Great, thanks.

One last question. Am I correct in thinking that I install each of the packages in sequence after installing the core app? The other OS that I'm looking to install is Lose2000. I didn't see any separate readme with installation instructions on the download site. The file that they did have seemed to just list possible problems.

Thanks again.

It was this bit from the download page. Maybe the ones after the first one are just extras that I don't need?

VMware Server for Linux.
The core application needed to run VMware Server and interact with it on the local machine.

VMware Server for Linux.
As above, but a RPM Binary.

Management Interface.
The VMware Server Web-based management interface. Install on your VMware Server system to enable control from a Web browser. Includes downloadable VMware Server Console installation files.

VMware Server Windows client package. A zip package containing installer files for the following VMware Server Windows Client components:
- Windows VMware Server Console (.exe)
- COM scripting API for Windows (.exe)
- Perl scripting API for Windows (.exe)
- Programming API (.exe) B

VMware Server Linux client package. A zip package containing installer files for the following VMware Server Linux Client components:
- Linux VMware Server Console (.tar and .rpm)
- Perl scripting API for Linux (.tar)
- Programming API (.tar)

Thanks again for the help.
