OK, here's the info I should have included before:

I'll stick with the vmware 2  'buntu 8.04 install for now.  ( 8.04
fully updated )

And here's the error msg:

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.2.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4" anyway? [no]

[ I said "No"  ]

Dave's patch seems only to apply to 8.10 ??

Thanks for the help.

Stuart
