the VMware script wants /usr/linux, not /usr/src/linux.

I've done that, and this is the errors I'm getting. Are we looking at a
Cooker issue or a VMware issue?

Do
you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you
need
to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

kernel? [/usr/include]

I can tell you that the modversions.h file in the 2.4 kernel is considerably
smaller than the version in the 2.2.17 kernel source. I'm not a kernel
developer, and don't know if this is expected or not.
