[First I'd like to thank you for taking the time to help me.] Oh, I did, and it installed fine. It's when I go to run it I receive the following: ///////////////////////////////////////// [root@FreeBSD ~]--> /usr/bin/vmware & [1] 572 [root@FreeBSD ~]--> VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please read the INSTALL file in VMware Workstation's documentation directory. //////////////////////////////////////// Then I go to run the "vmware-config.pl" and I get the following: [root@FreeBSD ~]--> /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl Setup is unable to find the "insmod" program on your machine. Please make sure it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand? [yes] //////////////////////////////////////// The smoothest thing was the install from /usr/ports, it's running the program that's killing me. :( -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 "UNIX, A Way of Life !!!"
