    before we begin you will need the tar.gz version of vmware server it can be freely downloaded from here

    1. We need to create some folders to store the vmware scripts so run the following as root 
      mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d
    2. We then need to make a symlink for lsmod 
      ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/
    3. We need to install some dependiencies 
      pacman -S libxtst libxt libxrender xinet
    4. Move your vmware server tarball file into /tmp and extract it 
      tar xzf VMware-server-2.0.1*.tar.gz
    5. Run vmware-install.pl 
      cd /tmp/vmware-server-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
    6. When it asks where the directories for rc0.d thru rc6.d are, use /etc/rc.d/vmware.d
      When it asks where the init directory is, use /etc/rc.d
      Select no when it asks you do you want to run vmware-config.pl
    7. Now we need to download a patch so that it will run on kernel 2.6.30

      For 64bit users

      1. cd /tmp
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch
      2. We now need to run vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh 
        sh vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh

      For 32bit users

      1. cd /tmp
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch
      2. We now need to run vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
        [test]sh vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh[/test]
    8. Most of the default options should be ok for you when its finished you'll be able to access the web management console at http://your-servers-ip:8222
