I've been playing with vmware and its utterly brilliant stuff, I'm
very impressed and I think I'll end up buying it.
But one issue I can't seem to fix is that every time I reboot I have
to run the vmware-config.pl again or I cant start vmware.
The out put of the vmware-config.pl is as follows:
root at a31ptp:~ # /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-4-686/build/include]
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.
Building the vmmon module.

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
This program previously created the file /dev/vmmon, and was about to remove it.
Somebody else apparently did it already.
This program previously created the file /dev/parport0, and was about to remove
it. Somebody else apparently did it already.
This program previously created the file /dev/parport1, and was about to remove
it. Somebody else apparently did it already.
This program previously created the file /dev/parport2, and was about to remove
it. Somebody else apparently did it already.
This program previously created the file /dev/parport3, and was about to remove
it. Somebody else apparently did it already.

You have already setup networking.
Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are?
(yes/no) [yes]
Do you want this program to automatically configure your system to allow your
virtual machines to access the host's filesystem? (yes/no/help) [yes]
The version of Samba used in this version of VMware Workstation is licensed as
described in the "/usr/share/doc/vmware/SAMBA-LICENSE" file.
Hit enter to continue.
This system appears to have a CIFS/SMB server (Samba) configured for normal use.
If this server is intended to run, you need to make sure that it will not
conflict with the Samba server setup on the private network (the one that we use
to share the host's filesystem). Please check your /etc/samba/smb.conf file so
that:
. The "interfaces" line does not contain "192.168.234.1/255.255.255.0"
. There is a "socket address" line that contains only your real host IP address
Hit enter to continue.
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Virtual ethernet done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done
You have successfully configured VMware Workstation to allow your virtual
machines to access the host's filesystem. Your system appears to already be set
up with usernames and passwords for accessing the host's filesystem via network
interface vmnet1. Would you like to add another username and password at this
time? (yes/no/help) [no]
You can add more usernames at any time by invoking the following command as
root: "/usr/bin/vmware-smbpasswd vmnet1 -a <username>"
The configuration of VMware Workstation 4.5.2 build-8848 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully.
You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware".
Enjoy,
