I am a newbie on Linux. I recently installed Fedora Core 2 on a WMware virtual environment. The purpose was to make me confident with Linux before intall it on my pc. I am trying to load vmware-install.pl from the terminal. It seems to be ok at the beginning but just before the end of the installation i get this message :

"Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want tghis program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]"

and when I do it, I get this answer:

"This configuration program is to be executed out of an XFree86 session. Please shut down all instances of XFree86.
Execution aborted"

How can I finish this process?

Cheers,

open a terminal window, and edit your /etc/inittab file. Look for a line that looks like:

id:5:initdefault:

and change the 5 to a 3. Shutdown and reboot. On reboot, you'll have strictly CLI access. Go and run the program that your supposed to run, then edit your /etc/inittab file again, changing the 3 to a 5. Shutdown reboot (from the CLI $ shutdown -r now, IIRC).

That will enable you to finish the vmware install. You might have to start the entire install from the CLI, and I don't know much about VMWare so I'm not sure if this will leave you with a good installation or not, but it will get you to a non-X environment like it's asking for...

hope that helps,
