thats why i use "--without-kernel-modules" i am running Fedora 17/18 and do only need the vmtoolsd for VMwareHA and to freeze the FS for VMware-Data-Recovery because recent kernels have the vmware-drivers upstream
my sysv-init times are long ago, so i have only the systemd-unit [root@buildserver:~]$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service [Unit] Description=open-vm-tools [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmtoolsd Restart=always RestartSec=2 TimeoutStopSec=1 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Am 18.04.2013 18:44, schrieb Bhuvan Racham: > Thanks a lot. > > In my case, i want bare minimum install and want ONLY operational guestd and > nothing else. > > Are these instructions still good for that.
