Does anyone know how to setup VMware workstation on mandriva 8.0 it has been installed but I can't get any further. I would appreciate some help.

Hi erick110,

First thing you have to do is setup a user group for vmware, i'm not sure what it's called, check the docs, and add all users who are allowed run a VM to this group.

After that, it should be plain sailing. Did the install give you any issues about kernel headers, no kernel module installed, that kinda thing?

Did you run

Code:

vmware-config.pl

as root?

can't get further is pretty vague..

What exactly are you trying to accomplish ?
What Exactly have you already tried ?
are you getting any errors ?

What is mandriva 8.0? I'm afraid I have never heard of that one.

Errrr Linux Mandrake 8.0 from 2001 maybe ?
did we respond to a really old post....

OP may want to consider installing a current Distro before trying to virtualize on top of it..

Hmmm, i've never run mandriva before, but what farslayer is saying sounds about right:
