I did an update of Dapper to Edgy. My VMWare Server was broken as a
result, but downloading the kernel headers and rerunning the VMWare
Server installer (which recompiles the program to match the new kernel)
broght everything back to where it should be. My pre-existing (from
Dapper) VMs were intact and unaffected. JME. YMMV.
