If you're using 5.0-Release, install them from the CD via /stand/sysinstall. If you're using -Current, you should have your source available already somewhere, just make sure the port knows where it is. If it's on the system but not in /usr/src, you could symlink that to wherever you have your source. Also, bear in mind that once you get past this hurdle, you'll have to download a kernel patch that hasn't been committed yet, apply it, and rebuild your kernel. I can testify that VMWare3 works via the port, as I have it installed and running. Hope that helps, Fish
