ah - thanks

is there any improvement by not using --without-procps?

it would be pretty cool if someone explains what the VMware-Tools
are supposed to do except HA/filesystem-freeze/shutdown-reboot on

personally i like to disable as much as possible linking for

libraries needs pacthes because of bugs
