I'm not sure what that does, but it made the install work.
That's using standard vmware player tar-gzip file: http://www.vmware.com/download/player/∞

Gotchas: if your kernel header and kernel stuff is compiled with a later gcc than you have installed in your system, vmware install will fail.
So install a recent but ideally not the very latest kernel, dist-upgrade your system to get a corresponding gcc, and you should be good to go.
the question where you give no is:
do you want to run vmware-config.pl, say no,
install any any patch and you will be prompted to go on
with install of vmware
[b]Before running it, do this fix:[/b]
There may be an issue for some users, especially debian users, with recent updates. Those are fixed by first running this, assuming a fully dist-upgraded system:
open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh as root.
search for the lines
[code]vm_run() {
local exitCode
add this after:
# Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD
so your new /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24?.sh looks like this:
# Run "$binary" while watching its progress on its stderr.
vm_run() {
local exitCode
# Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD
# Append any libraries that are still missing.
if [ "$VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK" = 'force' ]; then

That works perfectly, and without that fix vmware will install but won't start.
Create vmdk file with Qemu
used this method to make the vmdk file with qemu: http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/16/1940214∞
To create a disk image, run:
qemu-img create -f vmdk imagename.vmdk nG
where n is the size of the disk image you want to create. Note that the size of the disk image is the size it can eventually grow to -- not the size it will be when it's first created. So, if you create a 20G image, it will only occupy about 3MB on disk without any data.
Create vmx files
and used this file to trigger it, paste and save to some file called say linux1?.vmx
this is the file that vmware player will use to launch the install of whatever you want installed.:
#!/usr/bin/vmware

Installation of VMWare
before the installation you always need to apply the current vmware-any-any patch.
you can find this patch here: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/∞
the current patch for kernel 2.6.16.9-slh-up-1 (April 20th 2006) is http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz∞
