I have searched the forum and not found any information about installing vmware tools on fedora 12.
I am familiar with how to do it on Ubuntu but did not even get any results on google for installing vmware tools on fedora 12 ...
I did find this guide for fedora 7 though: http://vmetc.com/2007/10/26/installing- ... -fedora-7/
I do not want to botch my first fedora install so can anyone comment on the link above as a guide for fedora 12?
Without vmware tools I cannot take snapshots etc which I find to be very useful when setting up a new system

Re: VMware Tools installation on Fedora 12?
yeah... i've done it. you need the compilers... once they are installed, run the vmware-tools-config.pl via the terminal
you may have to do it a few times ie keep pressing enter (10+ times) when it asks and it will go in.

Re: VMware Tools installation on Fedora 12?
first, i use fusion 2.0 on a mac (soon to run vmware server on my hda).
i can do snapshots with fedora 12 and even dynamically resize the vm's resolution.
- i went to the menu to install vmware tools.
- a window showed up with /media/VMWare Tools
- i untarred the tarball
- cd vmware-tools
- in a separate window, i install gcc: yum install gcc
- install the kernel devel: yum install kernel-PAE-devel (i had to match the version)
- ./vmware-install.pl
- i had to use /usr/src/kernel/2.6......
i ended up getting a "poll_initwait" issue ...
i think i solved this or a similar issue in another machine where i was running vmware server natively. but i did not jot things down
if you solve it, i am sure it will be useful in the near future.
