I did device.hints, sysctl and linprocfs.  I assume by
the install script, you mean 001.vmware.sh ?

That script does not do anything for me (as far as I
can tell) it just outputs the word "Vmware" and does
nothing.

I then started vmware manually, and it immediately ran
the wizard for me and I created a VM.  I have never
been able to start that VM I created though.  It was
indeed a winXP Pro VM, but again, it has never started
- I have never even seen the BIOS screen in vmware...
