    First of all. The guide I am following:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto

    My question is about the patching part of the guide. I have no idea what to do or how to do it...

    And this from the VMware guide:

    Could someone tell me how i "run" the ./runme.pl? I have placed the folder on the desktop and un-tar'ed it there too.
    And how do i run the "vmware-config.pl" ? In a Terminal? and in what directory??
    and...
    I'm only 3 weeks old with ubuntu but would like to have Win98 and WinXP installed too with VMware.


    When i open a Terminal and type: sudo ./runme.pl i just get:

    Code:
    rune@dell-uff:~/Desktop/VMware-stuff/vmware-any-any-update109$ sudo ./runme.pl
    Unable to open the installer database /etc/vmware/locations in read-mode.
    
    Execution aborted.

    All you have to do is shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
    Just open a terminal and run the commands in the blue boxes.
