Found an almost perfect tutorial on how to install vmware server 2.0 on debian lenny over at[url]howtoforge.com[/url].

One thing i will mention that I had to do that was not in the howto. I had to run a :

Code: Select all
apt-get install gcc-4.1.3


When your installing vmware it may get to a point where the installer is saying that the header files do not match your kernal version. If so note the version of the kernal in my case it was "4.1.3" and then do a:

Code: Select all
apt-get install gcc-(your kernal version here)


Then run the ./vmware-install.pl again and you should be golden! 8-)
