Installing VMWare Workstation 6.0.4 on openSUSE 11.0
So the time has come. OpenSUSE is now in release canidate cycle, and VMWare has released VMWare Workstation 6.0.4 which will work on openSUSE 11.0 natively (without the need of the vmware-any-any patch for 2.6.25 kernel).
I have created a new wiki just for openSUSE 11.0 and VMWare Workstation 6.0.4.
You can find it here in the wiki
I will be creating a new Wiki and Blog post for an installation of VMWare Workstation 6.5 on openSUSE 11.0 since there are currently some “Gotha’s” in the beta because of how GCC is detected.

Trying to download the patch for vmblock, but the file seems to be missing

i tried the patch but then the compilation would go fine. but when attempted to create a vm it would complain vmmon version mismatch. expecting 168.0, got 167.0. so i started from fresh, uninstalled vmware and before running vmware-config.pl, copied only the vmblock.tar from the patch file. then vmware-config.pl would succeed and vmware would work as expected.
