Just remember to use something like lilo where you can boot back to the 
old kernel if you forget something.

True, That is not a bad Idea.  I have redone the kernel a few times
before.  I will give that a try first...

You could grab the latest and greatest kernel from www.kernel.org and
compile it and run with that. Then when you built the vmware stuff, 
you'd have the right kernel headers to go with what your running.

Yes.  I have gcc and make installed.  VMware asked where my headers
were.  I gave the location, and it says that the headers are not the
same as my kernel.  I'm thinking of starting with a fresh install of
Suse and then trying to go from there.  For some reason, Mandrake or I
selected the wrong things during this install.  I had to DL gcc, and
make .

do you have the gcc compiler? Did you let vmware try and re-build it's
modules?

I tried installing VMware last night, but it couldn't find the header
files for my kernel.  My kernel is 2.4(something)-26.  The header files
on my system are for 2.4(something)-34.  That is what was installed on
my PC.  VMware won't install unless these match.  When I downloaded and
tried to install the header files for #26, it won't take because #34 is
already in there.  Is there any "NICE" way to remove the #34 headers, or
fool VMware into seeing the correct header files??
 
Thank You,
Matt Caldwell
