I coaxed it to install by modifying the emulators/vmware2 ports to accept the vmware-express tarball and a few other tweaks. I can configure a virtual machine and everything is fine until I power it on. At that point it fails stating that "vmmon is not working as expected". I figure that the vmware folks have modified vmmon between vmware2 and vmware-express (and presumably vmware3). I'm about to poke around to see if I can find out what has changed. But before I do, I like to know if anyone has information or hunches about what has been changed. Has anyone looked into this? Is a new port on the verge of distribution? thanks dayton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
