Before Installing on a Linux Host
Before you install and run VMware Workstation, check the following notes and make any necessary adjustments to the configuration of your host operating system.
  • If you have a previous tar installation, delete the previous vmware-distrib directory before installing from a tar again. The default location of this directory is /tmp/vmware-distrib
  • The real-time clock function must be compiled into your Linux kernel.
  • VMware Workstation for Linux requires that the parallel port PC-style hardware option (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) be built and loaded as a kernel module (that is, it must be set to m when the kernel is compiled).
