should just be /etc/rc0.d through /etc/rc6.d
although it may depend on your distro, this is definately it for debian

well is it possible some one could explain this to me please.

Before you install and run VMware Workstation, check the following notes and make any necessary adjustments to the configuration of your host operating system.

* The real-time clock function must be compiled into your Linux kernel.
* VMware Workstation for Linux requires that the parallel port PC-style hardware option (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) be built and loaded as a kernel module (that is, it must be set to m when the kernel is compiled).
i havent got a clue what this means
