Vmware 4.0

[munky]

I got the trial for Vmware...part of the install is asking where the rc0.d to rc6.d scripts are. Now knowing so, there are none in Gentoo. I proceeded to make empty dirs called rc0.d >> rc6.d trying to fake it out, but when I rebooted it wouldn't start the virtual machine. I've concluded that it uses those rc dirs for something :-/ So I was wondering what I should do!?

Right... I'm not a Gentoo user (Debian, Mandrake and FreeBSD are my *nixes of choice) but I can see what the problem is: most Linux distros use System V compatible init (/etc/rc[0-6].d) but gentoo uses its own style

The gentoo init system is explained at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml . Looks like you will need to edit the vmware script in /etc/init.d and call sth like rc-update add vmware default.

Oh, for completeness: System V init is explained at http://docs.kde.org/en/3.1/kdeadmin/...sysv-init.html
