Hi,

I am a newbie to the Linux arena and thought that i would try out as I got this on a cover dvd.

Mandrake has installed, I said No to auto booting the KDE. I selected as much as possible to install.

When I run the VMWare Tools installation, it asks for the location of the kernel C header files.

Looking under /usr/src I have no Include or Linux directories. Only RPM.

Can someone tell me what I have done wrong and what I need to do to get this working !

Thanks

Danny

You need to install the kernel-source: Type as root in a console: urpmi kernel-source

Good luck

Thanks... that worked... now I have a problem in that once the script for the tools completes I get a problem with XFree86 version.... attached is screenshot.

Also I have enabled shared folders and restarted linux but there is nothing under /mnt/hgfs

Any help would be appreciated

I posted some instructions here on what I did to get Mandrake to work in vmware:

Hope it helps.
I had the same problem.

Revised 12-07-04

I made a mistake in my instructions as a few things changed from Mandrake 10.1 CE and 10.1 Official. The new instructions hopefully work for 10.1 Official.
