*Now we need to install some needed packages, open a terminal and enter:
*VMware server 2.02 does not work with kernel 2.6.35 out of the box, so we need a small script:
*Look at your download directory. You should find these files:
# -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 8696 Dec 16 16:46 raducotescu-vmware-server-linux-2.6.3x-kernel-release-1.5-1-g71f8b66.tar.gz
# -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 506047036 Dec 16 16:31 VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz
* Now, unpack the file we got from the script:
*A new directory has been created:
# ls -l
# -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 506047036 Dec 16 16:31 VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz
*Move the downloaded VMware server in the new directory:
*Your directory should now look like this:
# -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 1321 Nov 14 22:24 LICENSE
*To install VMware server, we need the script vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh.
To execute it, root rights are required.

At the question:

Around line 2702, replace
if (-e $answer . '/linux/utsrelease.h') <nowiki>{</nowiki>
$uts_headers .<nowiki>=</nowiki> "#include <linux/utsrelease.h>\n";
<nowiki>}</nowiki>
[...]}}</pre>
with
if (-e $answer . '/generated/utsrelease.h') <nowiki>{</nowiki>
$uts_headers .<nowiki>=</nowiki> "#include <./generated/utsrelease.h> \n";
<nowiki>}</nowiki>
[...]}}</pre>
*Now run the configuration script:
to finish the installation.
*Only two questions need specific answers, answer the default values with''Enter'' for the others again:
