I you're on about using VMWare 2.x with 2.4.18, then there is a script 
that can be used, which will patch the kernel modules, then compile the 
modules and do the normal vmware installation. 

Have a look in:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/obsolete/

The file you're after (that I used anyway,) is 
vmware-ws-1142-for-2.4.7a.tar.gz.
