Ohh, btw, vmware-tools actually has an official yum repository here: http://packages.vmware.com/tools Docs available here: http://www.vmware.com/download/packages.html According to vmware's recommendations you should use the rpms from the matching vmware esx(i) version and OS version/architecture directory. Its real pain to keep it managed, especially if you have different esxi versions across the company though... :/ (The main source of the problem is that you would need to detect the esxi version on a guest machine that doesn't have vmware-tools installed. Anybody has some great ideas on how to do this?) -- Zizi "...nálatok a cégnél múltból nagyon sok van..." _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list rhelv6-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
