Vmware Server 2

What a nightmare...

Downloaded vmware server v2 (64 bit)
Put install into /usr/local/install and ran vmware-install.pl
Install fails everywhere. Primary problems are incorrect dependencies to rebuild vmci,vsock, etc.
Following custom kernel build instructions corrected dependencies.
A known bug for the vsock compilation exists. A patch is available.
Applied patch and ran /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Success.
To access the new vmware console, https://127.0.0.1:8333/
Vista SIRAS VM doesn't have bridged networking anymore.
Found reference to issues when moving VM's to another host.
Rebuilding Vista VM cleared up the problem.
