Some trouble with fresh 7.10/ltsp - now fresh 7.04

Hi,

I have now: fresh 7.04 amd64, no patches, no changes, working clients 
(1280x1024), console still unchangable 640x480

Client freeze after 1,5 hour working (no mouse, nothing). Client working 
perfect with other servers. No syslog-messages.

One problem (same with 7.10 befor): strange behaviour compiling 
vmware-server 1.0.4 (later down).

So this ist the original 7.04 with no changes from my side:
Right now there is no entry about the 16MB-RAM on that mga-Card.

no error. but only 640x480 are available.


I have different vmware-servers (1.0.2-1.0.4 and 2.0beta) running with 
32bit-edubuntu and 64bit-SLES10.
On the 64bit-edubuntu (same with now:7.04, before: 7.10) there are some 
strange things happening:

During network setup it said:


Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? 
(yes/no/help)
[yes]

Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...

sh: /usr/bin/vmware-ping: not found
...
sh: /usr/bin/vmware-ping: not found
We were unable to locate an unused Class C subnet in the range of private
network numbers.  For each subnet that we tried we received a response 
to our
ICMP ping packets from a host at the network address intended for 
assignment to
this machine.  Because no private subnet appears to be unused you will 
need to
explicitly specify a network number by hand.

/usr/bin/vmware-ping: no such file...

Thanks for any hints.
