Yes those are the tools I tried to install. Do you need the new kernels
as well?
Thanks, Fletch
You can tell for which kernel the kmod rpm is built for by looking at
the name. For example,
kmod-open-vm-tools-0-0.20080123.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5.i686.rpm
is for kernel 2.6.18_53.1.13.el5.i686
Find the one that matches your running kernel (uname -rm).

Thanks that got me a bit further but still running into dependency errors:
This is my kernel: 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen i686
This is the error message:
Missing Dependency: open-vm-tools-kmod-common >= 0 is needed by package
kmod-open-vm-tools
Any idea where I can this this rpm??
Thanks, Fletch
