Yes, the vmware modules are in so installed automatically when
'vmware-player' is installed:

  vmware-player-kernel-modules

so no need for the compiler.  The compiler is always there to be 'apt-get
install'ed when needed;  so the CD space is used for things like media
players and word-processors that are more likely to be needed quickly.
