Coming back to this now... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is there a list of all kernel modules that need to be installed for |
| 19 |
open-vm-tools? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I found an old wiki archive article discussing installing open-vm-tools: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_VMware |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
but it is based on the 2.6.x kernel series, so I'd really like to find |
| 26 |
some decent instructions for modern kernels. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'm on 3.10.17 now, but am in the process of updating to 3.10.25 for |
| 29 |
open-vm-tools support. |

Maybe I'm over-complicating this (not uncommon for me) again... |
