My assumptions probably. My Linux is stable, I'd like to keep my
machine that way, hence wanted Linux at the 'top of the heap, if
you see what I mean.

I have, in fact I had the player running, but it seems that the curl
used by vmware
is OOD.

src->http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234928

run the install
update for current kernel,
   vmware-modconfig --console --install-all


remove certs
mv /usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs.crt
/usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs.crt.old

If needed, tools, then see
src->http://communities.vmware.com/message/1427520#1427520  Fiddle with curl


Unless I need the tools, I seem to have a start. Just need to know what they
give me.
