[wplug] newbielLooking for a little advice....

[Vanco, Donald]

RH8.0 includes rdesktop - use it instead of VMWare.
There are instructions (somewhere on the Internet) to get VMWare working.
If you need them I can dig them up.


I think this was it but I don't have time to dig right now:

If anyone needs a solution - go to this URL: 
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware and get the
vmware-any-any-update24.tar.gz 
- extract, run the "runme.pl" as root, let it recompile the module - and it 
should fix the problems..
