[CentOS] VMWare Server Install Problem

[Harry Sukumar]

Dear All,

Thank you all for sharing this information, I had to setup something
very immediately and a friend of mine suggested VIRTUALBOX, so I went on
installing virtualbox, to be frank its great free software. There was no
hassle in Installation and pretty similar interface to VMWare Server.
Does the same job as more secure and reliable I guess

I will try your suggestion some time this week

Once again thanks to every one

Cheers
Harry

You do not need the full kernel source to install vmware server.  Just
kernel-headers and kernel-devel (or kernel-(foo-)devel) packages.
