I couldn't find anything to answer this question. Do you have contact with VMware/EMC? Maybe we can ask them if it's ok to package vmware-tools. >> I do see some issues with various versions of vmware requiring different >> releases of vmware-tools.

Are they compatible? I have compared the tarball from vmware-workstation-4.5.2 and vmware-gsx-3.1 and noticed that that are not identical. I don't know what the difference is and if they are compatible. If you want me to do something to help you let me know. -- [email protected] mailing list
