VMware player needs Kernel headers
 
Hello all,

when start the program for the first time it search for the kernel
headers that could not find the message returned was "kernel heders
2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 were not found" I install F14 from DVD Iso file.
Any now how to correct or find this missing file? It would be most

Kernel headers...

You should find the package for kernel headers in your linux distribution's repositories. Look to see that the version numbers match the kernel version you're using.

Maybe...

I have an installation of openSUSE 11.4 and have the same problem.

What was suggested for SUSE was to make a mount point in the directory where my HDD is listed, but I never perused the matter and never fixed the problem.

Looking on the Internet suggests that you can use the "mount" command, but you have to have loaded the floppy module with "modprobe floppy"" beforehand.
